Pulsar 200cc versus New Karizma

By the time Dhoom-3 is produced atleast the producer will not have to import bikes. Cruise bikes are ready in India itself! Bajaj has launched the Pulsar 200cc and Hero Honda has come up with face lifted Karizma. Thanks to the India’s growth story, manufacturers have come up with modern bikes that can be comparable to any international bike. When you watch Dhoom 3 don’t get surprised if Hrithik is on the Karizma and Abishek is on the Pulsar 200cc.
Here is the detailed comparison of these two amazing bikes.

Engine and Transmission:

Pulsar 200cc features India’s first oil cooled engine which delivers a maximum power of 18Ps@8000rpm making it most powerful engine offered by Bajaj. It’s an air cooled single-cylinder with an alloy barrel and head as well as twin valves. Oil cooler placed just below the fuel tank helps in further cooling of engine lubricant and keep the large 198.8cc motor cool. Digital twin spark ignition (DTS-i) and torque expansion chamber — ExhausTEC ensures the pulsar to provide sufficient levels of torque at low engine rpm levels and is optimized to provide torque distribution in the mid and higher range rpm levels. Pulsar 200cc features a five speed gearbox with one down and four up pattern.

For the face lifted Karizma the engine remains the same. Karizma scores over the pulsar when comes to torque, the bigger engine provides a healthy 18.35Nm@6000rpm against the pulsar’s 17.17Nm. The progressive feel, multi-plate wet-type clutch and the smooth five-speed gearbox are again the same as in the previous version.

Pulsar 200cc clocks a top speed of 121kph against the 125kph offered by Karizma 223cc. Pulsar 200cc is not quicker as Karizma 223cc and it cruises to 60kph from rest in 4.73 seconds. The pulsar 200cc offers an impressive mileage of 38.3kpl in city and 42.4kpl in highway against the Karizma offers only 30kpl in city and a decent figure of 45kpl in highway. Performance figures are taken from autocar India.

Design:

When comes to cruiser bikes power and style is the deciding factor but with proven engines style occupies the centre stage. The two bikes derive their styling from their previous version and have added some interesting features. Pulsar 200cc derives its identity from 180 and 150. Bajaj’s new additions in Pulsar 200cc are
*Black paint theme carried over to the front fork legs, the rear shock absorbers, and the swing arm, in addition to the engine and six spoke alloy rims, for deadly looks.
* A lowered Headlamp/Fairing assembly along with a high tail-end, giving it an aggressive, ready to pounce stance.
* An all Stainless Steel silencer with an aluminium muffler can for genuine sporty looks and long life.
* Sleek, Twin row, Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs) derived from the upgraded pulsar 180cc along the split grab rail perfectly compliments the new rear chiseled looks.

I have seen many Bikers love to alter their Pulsar 150cc, 180cc and other bikes with modern diffuser, more powerful horns, replacing rear tyres with bigger tyres, raising the rear suspension to give a racing look and exposing the drive train which demands higher price . For those relief comes in the form of pulsar 200cc Bajaj has offered some of these as standard features

* It’s the first bike in India to feature both front and rear tubeless tyres, which besides offering superior stability are safer than conventional tube types and in sync with the offerings abroad for similar applications. The rear tyre is the broadest in its category to ensure better road grip and stability. Another first is the use of split seats in pulsar 200cc for styling and comfort.

New Karizma strikes the Bajaj 200cc with the following additions

*an attractive new logo, which represents the bike’s cutting edge imagery of being racy.
*International styling graphics with a pronounced `R’ on the tank and an asymmetrical one on the visor in keeping with the latest international trend.
*New sporty under-cowl, which makes the bike look more powerful and mean.
*Matt-axis grey coat for the engine, which makes it look very rugged.
*The other notable features in the bike are the red-coloured springs in rear suspensions and stylish fender with new graphics
A special edition version of New Karizma, which has a set of racy-red mag wheels and a dual tone finish for exhaust pipe, makes it one of the most attractive bikes on Indian roads. Although the cosmetic changes made in the Karizma targets the youth it is not enough to meet the sporty Pulsar 200cc in design

Handling and Engineering:

Pulsar 200cc is lengthier than new Karizma but its wheelbase is shorter than new Karizma which means you have to be careful with the Pulsar 200cc while negotiating a turn. Both the bikes offer disc at the front and drum brake at the rear as a standard feature. With the MRF tubeless tyres at the front and the back Pulsar gives excellent traction control. Even though Karizma features a 276mm disc at the front a little larger than 260mm offered in pulsar, the massive 150kg Karizma comes to halt in 18.36m from 60kph as against 16.47m taken by pulsar 200cc from the same speed. Both the bikes offer a commanding position for riders. But with split seats and carefully placed foot rest the pillion in the pulsar 200cc gets better visibility. The split seats are not only meant for the sporty look, but also resides a modest lockable and cable released storage under it.

Special features:

In addition to the features mentioned in design section both these bikes have special features which increases their practicality

Pulsar 200cc also leaves its drive chain exposed with O’ ring sealed, which is pre-lubricated to help it stay reliable inspite of running open without protection is one such example. Similar to its sibling Pulsar 220cc-soon to be launched, the pulsar 200cc bike throws away the kick lever and makes you to crank the engine only with your thumb unlike the Karizma which offers both self and Kick mechanism for cranking. Both these bikes use best instruments and unheard features in any Indian bike. Both Pulsar 200cc and the new Karizma have Digital odo Meter, Digital Fuel Gauge and Digital Trip Meter. Pulsar 200cc features a digital console which uses only LEDs and intelligently varies its amber backlight intensity for viewing in either day or night. The new Karizma features a night vision in the digital console, which illuminates the console to bright neon yellow and makes the speedometer stand out in the dark, forming a stunning contrast. It also features powerful multi-reflector trapezoidal headlight with two pilot lamps for that added beam, an integrated clear-lens lamp tail light for better visibility at the rear. Real time clock is found only in the console of Karizma. Both these bikes use 15 litre reservoirs and bar end weights – which keeps off the vibration. Karizma has safety switch for clutch which actuates when the vehicle is started in gear.

What Karizma lacks:

For the features like self-canceling Indicators that switch off when the turn has been completed and the handlebar comes to a ‘straight ahead’ position with a pre-set automatic switch off function, even if the turn has not been undertaken, auto switchover feature – which comes into play incase one of the two Headlamp filaments stops functioning, backlit, non-contact type, soft-touch handlebar switches digital speedo meter – which throws away the conventional cable, additional digital trip meter and indicators for air filter condition, engine temperature, battery voltage and oil level -all of which contribute to enhancing rider info for trouble-free riding and for a low maintenance battery with a unique venting valv – which drastically reduces the electrolyte loss and therefore reducing frequency of routine maintenance the new Karizma has no answers to Bajaj Pulsar 200cc.

Pricing and availability:

The new Karizma will also continue to be priced at almost the same level as the previous version, with on-road prices for the regular variant working out to Rs 79,000-80,000. The special edition variant with red mag-wheels will be costlier by about Rs 1,000. Bajaj has launched 52 Probiking outlets – which will house only high performance bikes. Pulsar 200cc would be available at such Probiking showrooms at select locations across the country for an attractive price of Rs.65,497 (ex showroom, New Delhi).

Summing it up…

With proven engine and completely new unheard features Bajaj Pulsar 200cc outsmarts the new Karizma. Also, the better pricing makes the Bajaj pulsar 200cc a perfect bike for the highway. Whether you choose new Karizma or Pulsar 200cc one thing is sure i.e. you will find a perfect mate for the week-end outing

karizma r is the best bike in india pulsar is very danger bike in india hero honda take good precautions and sufficient to people, bajaj take only stylish look and not sufficient to people karizma alway’s cheetah

Really, karizma is the best bike. but, if u look at the features then pulsar 200cc is the perfect mate for u. keep in mind, for high-way riding P-200cc is SMARTEST bcoz of it’s tubeless tyre. CHOICE IS YOUR. STAY SAFE.

pulsar 200 cc is best than other bike in india right now. any how other bikes r from outside india, but bajaj bikes r from india and bajaj is an indian company, and lets pay for indian company only and make our india rich and proud. i would like 2 go for a bajaj bikes and i own also bajaj bike, which pulsar 150 cc. HAMARA BAJAJ vrooooooooooom……………………

its really a nice article ,but the hero honda karizma has a far better smooth engine and a smooth gear box is guess its a proper sports bike on indian road conditions. well the pulsar is got a raw feel and still needs a well tunned engine.and the gear shifting is also troublesome at times and its hopeless keeping faith in bajaj as u never know when the change the bike completly …my suggstion is thr is no comparision between the karizma and pulsar200 Just go for the karizma… it just rocks on the roads controlling is quite smoother a very safe sports bike available in india.

Hi bikers, I have taken test ride of New PULSAR 200cc. Bike looks good with its black engine,Black Mcwheels.with gre8 Bhp.But when reality face then problem comes.I sat on the bike & trying to start with its ES botton,but a brand new bike is not able to start whereas many people had taken test ride just before me.Me, demonstrator and 1 buyer was trying to start that bike for 10 mins. if this is a situation then wat happend after 1 YEAR.It doesnt have kick.Many Dtsi 150cc buyers saying digital speedometer hangs wat will happen in rainny season with digital speedometer.

hi bikers , as i m using karisma 225cc since 1 year . its been a pleasure using karizma and there is no comparasion between pulsar and karizma . karizma was the best is the best and would be the best in india and also milage dosnt maters to me when it gives me shear pleasure . bajaj came in the motorcycles market long back after hero honda and hero honda have a history of creating great bykes this itself shows tht hero honda would be any ways better then bajaj bykes . i saw the new karizma byke and i m fida on it i have gone crazy and i would be bying it as sooon as it is launched in mumbai and guys beleave me mumbai roads are worst but i dont mind riding karizma on it and also ( KARIZMA IS ALSO WORTH IN MILAGE MY KARIZMA GIVES ME 40KMPL AND IF I DRIVE AT A SPEED OF APROX 60 TO 70 KMPH IT GIVES ME MILAGE OF 45KMPL) ONE SENTENCE FOR KARIZMA AMITABH (KARIZMA) AND SHAHRUKH KHAN (PULSAR) SO DEFINATELY AMITABH IS BETTER THEN SHARUKH .

Hi, its been a pleasure to know so many things about the new pulsar and karizma.well ill go with pulsar its offering great price with glamorous look.Thanks for this brilliant information on bikes.I am goin to get the pulsar soon on this article basis.THANK YOU,BYE.

hi guys,this is surya from tamilnadu.i own a sexy pulsar 200.i was the first to take pulsar 200 in T.N. my byk is so smooth and gives me a mileage of 40-43 KMPL since im driving it in 40-50 KMPH.it has a very sexy look and my girl frnd is so happy 2 hav a ride wid me in my byk. So guys,prefer pulsar 200,if money doesnt maters you ,jst buy pulsar 220.im sure you will burn d roads.but choosing a karizma is like pouring petrol in your cash and burning it. pulsar 200 brothers-Legend Of Indian Bikes…

If one can buy karizma then one can surely afford gasoline too. not much difference b/w average of 35 for karizma & 40 of pulsar.listen to ur heart & if it says karizma .go for one .After all looks & attitute matters along with safety.karizma rocks

Hi, Pulsar 200cc is awesome but one thing which is very dissapointing is absence of kick lever. Bajaj could have provided it, pulsar 180 has why not 200? If it would have been absent in yet to be launched 220 then managable as it is high end bike. But not in 200 very dissapointing!!! Thanks, Brijesh

hello, Regarding your comparison in the opening lines, I would say that international sportsbikes have maximum power around 160HP or 110KW and a maximum torque of around 110Nm. So, we cannot compare them with bike like pulsar having maximum power around only 18HP and maximum torque only 17.17Nm. DK

Ok!! Now what can i say! Its frustrating to see most of you writing non-sense without rational thinking and with only obsession for your own preferred brands! Please have some sanity and compare the features of each bike in an unbiased way and then write! Makes sense? Most of you dont know anything about bikes except riding it and you come here to dump your own ‘gyan’. Again, most of the people cant write correct english! All that is somehow pardonable! The BIGGEST crib i have is – people please find out the difference between a ‘cruise’ bike and a ‘sports’ bike! Pulsar n Karizma are sports bikes and not cruise bikes! Go figure it out, you geniuses!!

NC, You might have a valid point here. People keep on mixing things. But still, in the international context I would hesitate before calling pulsar or karizma as a sportsbike. In developed countries, 150 cc or 200 cc bikes are like a dwarf in comparison to the 1000cc sportsbikes. Only teenagers and people who are not able to get a bike license, ride these 150cc or 200cc bikes. Thus, in the Indian context, it matters less to me if you call pulsar (or karizma) a cruise bike or a sportsbike because they dont fit in either of the 2 categories. They would fit more in the “standard/road bikes” category. DK

going by the stats and features I think bajaj has outsmarted honda in P200.All those frustu karizma lovers, yes the bike is best and even i’m also a big fan of that but now its been years.And honda has done no upgrade save some useless graphics. As of now P200 is da bike to take..it rocks!!! as of me i’m waiting for P220- DTSFi.I have learn’t that it has been released in a controlled manner only in pune and bangalore.If anybody has taken that please post the reviews..

karisma has been in the market for a while and pulsar made a swope in lately. Considering the market deals so far , Pulsar seems to be in a position to be called a pro bikers delight !! We have a 135cc CBZ and then 220cc karisma in opposed to 150cc, 180cc, 200cc, 220cc pulsar… cmon , the result is evident as per statistics !!

What are Yamaha, Suzuki and Honda doing???? These stupids were supposed to take india by storm with their “Oh so coooool” technology and killer looks!!!!!!!! and look where they are……..in the dustbin of the industry!!

hello friends, Standard of indian bikes is improving day by day…bajaj has taken a giant step towards this. A very detailed description of both the bikes{new karizma and pulsar 200}is given in the article.. I would surely rate pulsar 200 higher than the new karizma due to its fuel efficiency and lower costing.. Apart from that what i like most about pulsar200 is its rear tyre[120-80-17]. it offers better road grip and stability. no grudges against karizma but there arn’t any notable changes in the new version apart from the design…..

I own a Pulsar 180 an am in SL.. Im really impressed with the new Bajaj Pulsar 200 an ur review.. But there ws 1 small mistake, The Pulsar 200 has disc brakes on both front an rear wheels (not disc on front an drum at rear).

I took a Test Ride in New Pulsar 200 CC & 3 year old Kaizma Test Ride Bike.Pulsar is no way near to Karizma.So my Karizma is cmng out frm showroom this 25th……Honda always Best…(Pulsar got soo much features, but…it doesnt hav any lifetime qality)…..

Hai AJ, Thank you for your nice observation of this article. What you have written is may be true for Pulsar 220cc not for pulsar 200cc.Pulsar 220cc is expected to be equipped with rear disc brake. Visit this Bajaj Auto page for Pulsar 200cc technical specification

i own pulsar 200cc… and i adore this bike more with every passin day… its toooooooooooo goood… and i never felt tht it has gone out of control at top speeds even once… i dnt know much abt karizma so i have nothin against it…

Hi, This is Vikrant Bhalerao from Pune, I had the priveledge of owning a P220 the 5th one to be exact, I got it from a Pro-Biking dealership here in Pune, apparently Bajaj is releasing 15 of these bikes on application to the probiking dealerships in pune. The P200 here is also available in FI version based on Application. I was here to buy the P180 / P200 but getting the P220 for only 78,667/- on road was a deal too hard to refuse, 22bhp of blistering power, too bad my bike is in run-in period, but I must say if the obsolete Zma and P220 tagged at approx price, there are problems for the great Zma, either HH should reduce the price, or upgrade the bike to be on par with the Pulsar 220. Its a shame that the great Zma has to be compared with a 200cc bike instead of a 220cc as in this review, this itself indicates where the Zma stands. The Karizma is not a Classic but an Obsolete Dinosaur. I am biased towards Pulsar because Bajaj gives me more than I expect, unlike HH who just give the power hungry bikes a “R” Sticker on the fuel Tank.

I am surprised that nobody is pointing out that none of the bikes are cruisers! Karizma has been designed as a sports bike and Pulsar has the genes of a street bike. (Eliminator/Avenger is a cruiser) I have been riding a Karizma for the past 2 1/2 years and it has provided unmatched driving pleasure!

After looking the hot pics and some of unique features of pulsar 200cc mind goes just zoom.i m proud that indian bikes also have some unique features which were heared only in abroad bikes.it is just wild an cool bike.

Naturally the pulsar is superior in terms of features and technology. However the question is does this translates into superior performance on road. The answer is yes for pulsars. However the tricky part plusar requriers superior handling skills than Karizma. with its shorter wheelbase it can be dangerous for novice. the karizma with longer wheelbase greater straightline stablity and firm suspension is more confidence aspiring than pulsar for a normal rider like me. it makes great touring machine if launched in higher capcity version with FI. I can’t understand the strategies of HH,They are launching FI in a punny bike which is hardly of any use, that to on higher price selling in to a market segment which is price concious. whereas much expected Karizma FI is nowhere to be seen. This is what i call SUUUCide……………….

Hey guyzzzz……..lot of us feel that pulsar is not safe, really??? The article itself says pulsar 200 has better braking power than karizma…..talking abt style, pulsar anyday looks better than the karizma and the new one with LED lights n digi consoles, low riding position will look even more racy just like a “cat abt 2 attachk” Nothing can beat a pulsar

Only poor beggers will compare Zma and the new P200. Both P200 & P220 from Bajaj are imitations to match Zma. But Bajaj would take another decade to match Zma in reality. Bajaj has sold 20 P220s which are not perfect.The first batch of P200 are also flawed and all the bikes are going back to mechanics for attention. Zma rocks all the way !!!

I heard this machine is having temperature reading of Engine oil…..now what is the use? Are we not using bikes today without even knowing whatz happening in the engine??? So by looking at those temp. we have to regulate our speeds in some conditions ?? !! This absolutely stupid thing !! My friends’ new pulsar reads erratic rpms and petrol level, how can we trust the tempeartures?? In first place should a performance bike have all these gadgets?? Oil cooling is in some suzuki big bikes to cool underside of piston. I’m sure Bajaj cooler will circulate ’colder’ oil to entire engine (from radiator type of element) and thus increasing engine temperature (due to thickness of oil resisting the mechanical movements). So the temperature of engine is increased un-wantedly !! Bajaj is fooling people with all such gadgets and so called innovations !!! Bajaj is a big thief !!

I have a Karizma. Its a good bike for people who like to spend a lot of money on their bikes. I had my bikes engine replaced 2 times, 1 under gurantee and other from right out of my pocket. Buying karizma was one of the greatest mistakes i had made in my like or maybe the last one i ever made. Its gear system is too tight, always starting problem in the morning. Well about mileage, its like heaven if anyone can get above 22 in highway. Guys never go behind Karizma, u will suffer.

NOTE: I HAVE A KARIZMA. But to tell the truth i like pulsar more than my karizma, i found the new pulsar 200 extremely good. I have seen the design and read the details of the bike… IT SIMPLY ROCKS…!!!

Well i totally agree that karizma is good but…pulsar 200 has brought some serious competiton here…BAJAJ by far has done a good job out here with its new 200…i got my pulsar 200 yesterday..and trust me itz an killin bike..looks r amazin like no other till now..perfect proportions{ body ..tires } givin a bulky naked bike look…rode it at 80km|hr…not more than that…as itz new..the accerelation is very nice…powerful n grunty engine…very smooth shiftin and engine too..goin with its street fighter look !!! ….can beat karizma nyday..nytime …had a small drag with my friend who has a karizma and he lost haha..so all karizma lovers out ther..BEWARE!!! …talkin about the new karizma..its damn bad in looks…big body with same old tiny tires…and ya graphics r not gona help u in performance…so really who kares about them!!!!…and the belly just dnt go with the flow of the body…damn sad…infact ppl modifiyin ther old karizma’s r more good…and guys who r confused betw these two bikes..i wud say go for the pulsar 200..just giv bajaj a chance to prove it…that itz cumin up with its PRObikin SERIES !!! any questions about the pulsar..ask me..will try my best to help you out !!! laterzzzzzzz guys !!!

Hi All, I bought Pulsar 200cc last week, I dont know much about Karizma, So here I am jus to tell abt the Pulsar, I’ve been always a great fan of Pulsar, I rode it at 100km/h and still it is very stable and balanced, my old splendor starts vibrating when i go behind 60km/h, The Style is unbeatable. The pick up is not much as i expected, I think this is coz of it’s heavy weight, but it doesn’t matter as I use to beat all the bikes driving along with me. The breaks are perfect. The only trouble I’m getting is Gear shifting, it’s little tricky to find in which gear I’m riding. NB: I feel the engine heats up very quickly when I go above 80km/h, if u r riding it u’ll feel the heat around ur legs..

hey all u cruise bike lowers may be p200 has less cc then karizma but it has better milage better looks better features and ofcourse has a better demand atleast not a flopp model like karizma and karizma dosent even stand in frnt off p200 karizma and all i have for karizma is this _|_

Well, I have the old cbz and confused between pulsar and karizma. Karizma definitely is more stylish and gives a sport’s bike looks. Pulsar 200 cc is ordinary looking with only the seperated seats that are outstanding. Otherwise karizma looks amazingly good. I dont think its fair to compare 200 cc with karizma However i feel the real competition will be between pulsar 220 cc and karizma. Please tell me when is 220 cc going to be launched in delhi. waiting for it desperately… But choosing a bike between karizma and pulsar is a real tough job…

Hi! This is Raj. Im very mad about bikes. This pulsar had created fire in youth’s heart. But i was liking Karizma, as it is more powerful than Pulsar. But by reading this, i’l definitely go with the new pulsar. It has became my dream bike.

hi guys . i own a kzma since past 2 yrs n i feel that it cnt b compared vid ne current on indian roads.i also road a pul200. though it is quite attractive but cant b compared vid a kzma.u can feel the adranaline rush only ven u ride a kzma.so all u lovers of fast affordable bikes, go 4 kzma,it’s far more safer n obviously much faster.

I have bought P220 last year (30Dec’06) for Rs 83,595 on Road in Pune. Well Don’t compare the looks of 200cc with ZMA or either with 220 as big fairing bikes are good to ride at very high speed with high degrees of rolling . P220 can be compared with ZMA in looks. While 200 is with totally different type of look can be compared to CBZ , Apache180. So 200 looks really good in its class and no comparison with any one till today! Yes , Ashok , I have driven my P220 about 5000Kms with 230 Kms single stretch ride (not even touched legs to ground) The best thing I found is 1) great stability, 2) superior Braking, 3)Vehicle assisted rolling All above three are making it really one step ahead to any other available bike in INDIA. But the problem is engine is not as calm as ZMA, but it is smooth and not harsh in feeling. FI is well tuned and acceleration is too good. The only problem is I am getting Mileage in the range of 39 to 46 KMPL where as it should be 30 to 35 and may be cc should be more to 260CC in that case !!! If you want ask any thing else mail me on ashu_910@rediffmail.com Josh!!!!

karizma is far better, it feels safer, heavier, more stable and more refined. and calling the pulsar a “sports bike” i am sorry, i fail to understand. it looks like some tiny toy between one’s legs (if one is of some reasonable height), that just plain sucks apart from the fact that mass and power are in no way balanced and thus make it unsafe to drive. on the positive side, the overall design of the pulsar isnt too bad at all.

Pulsar is the best bike for Indian roads.It has looks,style,power,mileage…wat else to you want.The price is also reasonable.Kariszma is now an outdated bike..go for PULSAR 200 CC…..and burn the roads..

FIRST BATCH OF P220 ARE ALL HIDING I BAJAJ SERVICE STATIONS, NO ONE HAS CROSSED 90 KMPH SPEED TILL DATE. BAJAJ IS FAMOUS FOR SELLING FAULTY BIKES WITHOUT ANY SHAME. THE FIRST BATCH OF P200 ARE ALSO EQUALLY FAULTY. I’D BEEN TO PRO-BIKE SHOWROOM AND TALKED TO ONE NEW OWNER…HE SAID BUYING P200 IS RISKY….AFTER 3 DAYS HE HANDED OVER THE BIKE BACK TO SERVICE STATION DUE TO LOUD NOISE IN GEARBOX….NOW THE BIKE HAS CHANGED A LOT…VIBRATIONS EVEN AT 3,000 RPM AND ENGINE IS VERY HARSH….YOU KNOW WHAT PRO-BIKE SALESMAN WAS SAYING TO A GUY “P200 TECHNICALLY GIVES 80 KMPL !!!” DON’T GET FOOLED TO BAJAJ BRAINS P200 SUCKS !!

Pulsar220 will be born only to tell all bike lovers that ZMA is the best !!! Bajaj’s quality is very sorry, I have my firend whose new P200 is totally flawed, he’s on leave since last four days busy going to Bajaj service station. Yesterday I rode his bike which was vibrating madly even at 3,000 rpm. I had to keep my feet in air to avoid the frenzy vibrations. Hero Honda has proved over years that Zma is true sports bike, it’s reliable, it’s fast, it’s top quality and it’s sexy and HOT !!! Bajaj P220 is only good on BLOGS and Bajaj is known for it’s fame on blogs. Most of the comments written are by one Bajaj chamacha. Just look at one guy ” Anson” what he is saying…Zma is good for people who spend money on it….how the hell he knows that P220 needs minimal money for maintainence? All 20 P220’s sold in Pune are flawed….how this idiot is saying Zma is costly to maintain??? Don’t trust all posts here, if you want to loose buy P220 of first batch and start your own website http://www.P220helpplease.com !!! Zma rocks, P220 will be born only to get beaten by Zma !!! Zma RULEZZSSZSZSS

Huun… All ZMA lover, come out of the well, don’t under estimate P200/P220. But when I say P200 is good this doesn’t mean that Karizma is bad. I have test driven both the bikes and found the Krizma 223 cc engine has more pickup then P200, but when you sit on the driving seat of the 2 bikes, Karizma will look like a obsolte bike with all anolog meters and wires coming out, where is P200 is a neat finsh bike with all digital meters. The power of P200 is really good and I hope it should give a good milage as well if compared with Karizma. Also I think tubeless tyre should be an added advantage. I have bought P200 and driven for a day, and will give you a true feedback of the usages after a month or so.

Hey Guys, Hold your horses !! My friend’s New P200 is in ICU of Bajaj Hospital. It was 6th day, it didn’t start at all and there was gearbox noise b/w 3 n 4th gear! The bike reached Bajaj showroom … one by one..they removed all parts and finally they asked him to come next day…I went along with him and the bike feels like 3 year old P150 with no power in 1st b 2nd gear….he’s worried after paying so much….still gearbox nois is there and service guys say it will be OK …. my pal is already planning to sell and buy a Unicorn/Xtreme…guys please don’t buy and risk.. comparing P200 with Karizma is a sin in first place !! My Cousin’s has done 32,000 kms and is in top notch condition !!! Bajaj is cheating people by selling dirt to people… even first batch of P220s were flawed according to mags… Zma is still alive and kicking !!!

hey guy now i wll tell u the reality the bajaj bikes r quite heavy in loooooooks!! although they aquire more grip than zma i like 200cc pulsar n crazy abt it but only one thing i doesnt like abt bajaj pulsar that they use very cheap parts like locks,rear tail light its always not working,side stand indicator always goes on giving problems rest is that technology wise i think k bajaj bikes r definately good n definately MALE i didnt find any pick up difference in pulsar 180cc n zma 223cc.if 180cc pulsar is well maintained so i think that pulsar 180cc will definately have tough competition zma. so acc to my conclusion 200cc wll be best!!!!!!!!!

Hey guys…just saw brand new p200 at a bunk…the owner said simply to avoid this bike…he said he is facing many gearbox related problems ….and guess….after filling petrol…it didn’t get started….it has no kick lever….the bunk guys were suggesting him to empty tank and try start it….The tank fairing looks very very cheap….do avoid this bike for time being as stated by above post.

Irony is Female is still the most reliable.. fastest…most dependable bike….MALE is trying it’s best to beat the female since years !!! Honda feels Female is enough for Bajaj MALES !!! And Bajaj MALES are the cheapest and have worst reliability !! ZMA Rocks for sure !! The males from Honda are yet to arrive…the desi male will run mad !!! Honda is getting CBR600 soon to India !!! Honda KICK the CHEATING Bajaj out into Arabian SEA !!!

are small kids i m having pulsar 180 n karizma.. i hav driven both bikes at there top speeds karizma goes on 130 kmph n pulsar 180 at 140kmph so i think pusar is better option as it comes to handling karizma is better but the real macho lokk cums in pulsar n pulsar 200 is far better from karizma…..so plz dont fool peoples anymore first hav the knowledge of bikes dan cum to decision… average of karizma 45 kmpl pulsar 180 55 kmpl

guys beleive me karizma is not good bike plzzzzz avoid it yaar my own bike is giving so much trouble…crank has been replaced… pulsar is very good bike… how can u compare a male with a female all karizma lover show some courtesy and accept that pulsar is best…

guys i got karizma and my opinion dont go for it now after pulsar 200cc launch i swear…karizma has just 1 plus point and that it its Hero Honda Bike and every thing else suckss hard its a piece of dinasor shit….

hi i use pulsar150 non-dtsi around 9biks every time when im going to buy cbz but i perfer my pulsar becoz its to good to maintain. and millage also around 50 to 55 kmpl. so i use pulsar150 and you?????? habib ahmed

Do some research to know what a “cruiser bike” is, sonny. And punybikes replacing SBKs in movies, Fat chance! In any case, makes no difference to me, as i haven’t seen “Made in Bollywood” crap in eons.

ihave liked both pulsar&karizma,among them karizma is the most extreeeeeeeeemly stylish one ever.But pulsar is over all good yet it is little bit dull. I hope in future that PULSAR will/may be launched more SPORTY&STYLISH way. ALL the BEST to BOTH BAJAJ & HERO HONDA Companies

i have a karizma and it has clocked around 4000km…and i ahve tried all that i can in my bike…i tried the same with a pulsar…it cant even come through anything that i did in my bike…whatever maybe the changes in pulsar…KARIZMA ROCKED N IT WILL ROCK!!!

ZMA has good looks but need sum changes like mono suspension and its handle bar it really sucks… for god sake change it to a sporty one like in Pulsar 180cc… handle bar in ZMA is made for commuter bike like tvs star city, platina etc., please engineers in HH motors make a note of it,n in future replace it with sporty one…

Hi Guys Apply your own ideas. Compare the plus and minus points of both and you will get it. I, own a pulsar.Believe me,pulsar family is really stunning and “DEFINITELY MALE”. Moreover it is launched by hamara bajaj. Bye.

hey dudes there,pulsar 200 has a big impact on our so called 3rd generation.people who are careful, alert and obey traffic rules on the road must go 4 pulsar dtsi 200 other than karizma!! and ya ofcourse it has a cool….. i mean hot style mantra!! its upto u guys both are standind head to head… i will recommend if ur nxt door friend has pulsar then go 4 karizma and viseversa!!!!!!!! he he thts allll nthing much to talk upon!! they both are good

pulsar is d best bike in da market be it 150,200 or 220 no hero honda can beat it its got stunning looks n very good overall performance it seems like u r in a plane while driving d pulsar 200 it speeds up to rockin 145kph on highways

hey…… guys pulsar 200cc & 220cc had beaten the looks of karizma. pulsar has a big impact on our so called 3rd generations.pulsar had got its best position in market by its cool & stunning looks. ; so why not pulsars.;

by god!!! i never GOT SO MUCH CONFUSED IN MY WHOLE LIFE..AS READING THIS COMPARISON… ITS ABSOLUTELY CORECT THAT COMPARIN BOTH THESE BIKES IS NOT WORTH (200C N 223C) THRE IS SUM DIFF.. BUT WATEVER…. I WAS PLANIN TO BUY EITHER OF THEM..BUT..NOW…..I DUNO..WAT TO GOO FOR.!!! EVERYTHING HAS ITS PRO’S N CON’S BUT..NOW..I VE TO TAKE A DECISION WICH ONE TO BUY..!!!LETS C..WICH ONE I GO FOR!!! CHEERS!!!

ABOUT THE ALL NEW Bajaj PULSAR200 DTSi “””All said n done, the pulsar200 DTSI , in character harks back to the first generation Pulsar 180 that was an aggressive beast. the loud exhaust note and the peppy enjine make for a riding experience like no other. The Byk is fast, and always in control- an awesome combination. Its behaviour will turn you into a hooligan while its potential will make you want to keep riding it for hours on end. The Pulsar200 does everything in Style- a trait well picked up from both its smaller and bigger siblings.””” BIKE India

karizma is far better than pulsar.in all the respects karizma beats pulsar…if u than also like pulsar more than the karizma lets have a race between both the rivals…pulsar top speed-120….karizma top speed-125

hi guys,I read all the comments and saw some scrps been written abt pulsar 200 its all false comments it really rocks the bajaj is trying some thing new every year and hero honda has been just changing the stickering and some stuffs so its better to go for 200.i cant say any thing abt 220 since it has not yet come to chennai…….and i dont say karizma ia not a good 1 but cost wise its waste to go for such a bike in that condition u can go for the alternate is 200 its pretty good and gives a mileage of 43kmpl i took the bike 200 cc 4th in chennai and its good u got to cruise the bike and not race with it….if u come to maintainance then pulsar is the best ….and warrenty such stuffs is good in the bajaj and honda does not give such policies………..so its better u all choice the good bike and which is more convenient and reliable…………

Hey All, Good energy to put all the comments and suprising patience for those who have read all of them. For a new aspirant rider these comments not only make sense but also help make crucial decisions. Well then for all Rohits in this group please see if you find the following analysis helpful. –P200 is currently getting compared to Kzma bcoz thats what happens when the new bike launches with so many extra features it is bound to get compared to the already existing benchmark in the market. –First of all this segment itself is for people who are ready to shell out extra moolah to get a high performing high power bike.(impractical to compare to high power foreign bikes as their road as well as riding conditions are different) –All the style and looks enthusiasts take a good look at both the bikes physically (photographs are always taken in enhanced modelling conditions) if you want to get a feel of it (Test ride and try)if you still cannot make a decision as your girlfriend. –As far as the data goes considering experiences of above mentioned comments to be real comments, most of them have commented on Looks and style, engine performance, gear shifts,highway conditions,safety involved,pillion comfort,mileage,spare parts and service availability,quality of spares,practicality of added features,response to pothole filled indian road,braking and turning safety and last but not the least cost factor. –If you have a lot of money to spend (my Dad is my ATM types) go for a new P200 as you can show it off, use it and throw it. –If you are a feature freak and know how to ride a bike, changing gears shouldnt be a problem for you try the new one out. –If you have only a certain budget of above 80K and wish to play safe. Go with the tried and tested one which is in market for some time now and more than 80% people favor it, go for KZma. –If you love economy, sorry you are knocking the door of a wrong segment.(even if P200 shows good figures remember these are still prototypes or trial versions for taking the pulse of the market) –Bajaj is too smart and wants to test the market as much as they can as big business is their objective (More buyers not few but satisfied ones) –If you are talking about high speeds and doing stunts , its all in your attitude even a Rohit sharma on a Kinetic blaze can rip past you if you dont know how to ride. –for those who feel 22 kmpl is burning money buy a platina or star city. –HH businessmen are not fools to not do any changes bcoz its idiotic to react to a trial concept bike in the market. Major changes will be done (to Kzma) if the market is more responsive to features. SO all in all if you want to go for one, dont be a fool, decide what you want. Rider experience is important and not worrying about how long will my bike go without the clutch wire breaks. All risk takers please stand in the queue for P200 registrations (make sure you have a pro biking service station near you) All the people who like to go for Swapnil M Chaukar

A very good article and a very excellent description about the great KARIZMA and pulsar200.”KARIZMA”, the name itself position it in a unique range. To say simply nothing can beat karizma……… beating it sounds great marvolles, fantastic…Go for karizma and feel the pride….

hi bikers,htis is siddhesh from mumbai look babaj is our bike & karizma is foreiner u know that so buy indian bikes an take a india in over the world & one thing i have karizma but i m indian so i will try to buy babaj pulsar 225cc.

All th way th pulaer 200 is far more beeter than karizma it has all the upgraded facilities that karizma afte his second launch can,t give to his customers.I think the pulsar 220 will be the rocking one.Thanks

i hav rided both zma n p200……n beliv me,as v r indians,n hav our own budget constraints(v cant get a yzf or a cbr),if u wana get a feel of riding a sports bike…p200 is the bike to go for….vrooooooooom vrooooooom

hi bikers.. im a true fan of bajaj bikes as i hav 150dtsi & with this bike i beat 180cc.. im thinking to buy a new bike which gives me class & performance .. im chaos whether to buy 200cc or karizma or wait for karizma fi or 220cc.. pls help me..

guys we got every thing except some pics so that we can decide ourselves which one is the best still i think pulsar gives more avrage and is lot cheaper than karizma ….so it all depends on u what u want to buy i have booked a pulsar …

guys i have been riding a karizma since may 2005.recently i also tried my friends new pulsar 200 on a highway.if u want fuel economy n new tech then pulsar is good.but remember new tech needs good maintenence n servicing which hero honda provides best.n fuel economy does not matter for people shelling out 80K for a two wheller.coming to karizma.just ride it n feel proud.if u r a decent enough rider then take assurance from me no indian bike even pulsar200 would have the audasity to compete with u at top speeds.just let ur 5th gear down n vroomm… at speeds over 130kmph.JET SET GO……

hey guys!!! I am planning to go for a Motor Bike.I am confused Between Pulsar-200cc and KZma Sports.I am planning to buy to buy a Zma sports.But as far as I got the public views, It ask for lots of maintenance, Mileage is not a constraints for me.So can Any1 plz suggest me.. Thanks in Ad vance

hi my advice wud be kzma.but if u can then wait for a few months till the P220 dtfsi is launched.that wud be kzma’s competitor n not P200 as people r saying.but before buying remember the after sales service of HH n that kzma is a tried n tested bike while P200 is a new model n needs time to prove itself

Hi dear friends, Pulsar from the bajaj family is definately male. All the pulsars(150,180and 200) are really good in their looks. I was using an Pulsar 150dtsi(April ‘ 04). Speed and power wise its really good.Even the mileage…average was 60kmpl. I was satisfied with all those qualities from my pulsar. The main matter which i noticed in a long run with my pulsar is Engine quality and Braking qualities. Both are really bad when comparing it with cbz or karizma. After every drive(20kms) the engine becomes so hot and sounds like anything. This problem started after 1year itslef.One of my friend is having a 200cc. Believe me the engine quality is not even good as 150 or 180. May be they can tell you its an higher displacement engine so more noise. If they say pls ask them to compare it with karizma, you will hear the engine sound in karizma not the noise. while with pulsar you will hear the engine noise which doesnt let you hear the engine sound. The 200cc is with great defects. you cant start the vehicle immediately after a long drive(min 15kms). you need to wait for atleast 1 or 2 mins to start again. These are all the problems from the very 1st week of delivery. Karizma simply rocks. After all paying a huge amount wat we wanted is the core quality, i mean engine quality. With this point any one can blindly go with karizma or cbz extreme(very very very smoother than zma) or Honda unicorn. Where you pay for the quality not for just cosmetics.

as far as my view is concerned i have brought a p150 digital 3 months ago and after completing 1000 kms i rode at 100 km/hr just for 2 times the very next day i fdound tht the oil in form of grease has covered a engine part from bottom

every one is amazed tht bajaj is offering such high perf bike at such low cost but WHT ABT RELIABILITY ???????????the parts r of bad quality i have 94 model of hh still no maintainance except battery checking in a 2 months

bajaj is giving good xciting bikes at low costs but compromising on quality. everyone here is not a money shitter. at one tome cost whether its 1lakh or 80000 we should get a satisfactory piece of machinary and tht should be HH

hai friends bajaj pulsar150 & 180cc tec engines are best than 2oocc. KARIZMA is look and speedy but not worth like pulsar but no bikes can beat my killer SUZUKI HAYABUSA 1600 bye friends wear your helmat and body pads when you race and be carefull on the tracks and roads! best of luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bye

Hi all, so far many have given their own views of what these two power bikes(of India!!) are. but let me all tell you one thing. their are pros and cons for each and every thing. For people who are still in dilemma whether to take Karizma or not can happily take it.But just check up basic pros and cons. Pros: Stylish look,Higher displacement(225cc approx.), new mods Cons: Poor Fuel Efficiency(around 35kmpl), Priced higher(80k ) Now its turn for Pulsar 200. This bike is again having pros and cons. Pros: Stylish sports look, Better fuel efficiency(than Karizma), High power(18bhp) Cons: Needs to concentrate more on body not just the finishing. For present Indians spending money is not so tough as olden days since many private firms have come up and the income levels have drastically increased.Thanks to the Globalized economy. Karizma can be obtained for a fair 80k and Rs1.40/km and Pulsar for 74k and Rs1.20/km. So for people who are price conscious as well as better top speeds can happily go for Pulsar 200cc bike. But then wait a moment, do you know a fact that Pulsar 200 has some problems in few sections. This happened in Mumbai, a guy was returning home from office and on the way a cat suddenly came across the road and so he aplied the disc brakes as usual but a loud cracking noise came from the front of the bike. He thought it might be some disc problem but he was shocked after seeing it later in the morning that his front forks were broken. When approached to Bajaj they apologised for the cause and repaired it.In addition they filled the fuel tank and gave a nice Ninja helmet to him. Not only this there are a few complaints against Pulsar 200cc (but no complaints against Pulsar 150&180). May be we have to wait a while for the necessary corrections to be made for this new 200cc bike of Bajaj. To conclude, I can say Karizma can be preferred as for now but if the Bajaj can correct the problems of the existing Pulsar 200, it can be an ideal selection. regrds, Sriram

pulsar 200 are having many quality issues many of its parts are of china made and its a very unsafe bike there is a major problem with its front forks so please dont buy this bike as for now as bajaj are thinking about it and may also do some changes soon so wait before you buy it i had booked pulsar 200 but after its problems i have taken my decision back so its on you………………………………………

AS ive known Bajaj only concentrates on label graphics n good looks, no matter how worst the engine is, how worst the performance is, technically speakin, bajaj 220 was made only to attract people as the sale of bajaj in 2006-2007 suffered a loss of nearly 45,000 bikes as that compared to the sale in 2005-2006. on da contrary Hero Honda made a sale of 30,000 bikes more in 2006-2007 than that in 2005-2006. Ne ways thats a little deep.. I only wanted to know about the forthcomin KARIZMA-280cc. coz as soon as my 12th results are out i’ll buy it…

I really liked P200 because of its price and features but comparing it with zma is not correct as both fall under different category. I was even planning to buy P200 but taught of waiting for a while as there is some problem with P200 fork. i will consider buying this only after Bajaj replaces fork with the proper one which can handle the stress. As this is a major problem. I saw some of the broken forks in the below link http://www.funenclave.com/auto-zone/pulsar-200-breaking-off-7527.html Hope this info was useful. Safe Driving Srijith

PERPLEXED !! Today I took a test ride of both P200 and ZMA. Found P200 stunningly beautiful [oops!! handsome, definitely male & techno loaded too] but the handling was heavier and the front shocks not responsive enough. On the contrary ZMA was pure exhilaration,smooooth ride but !! not much improved looks, decals, same old 100cc bikes chrome plated handle bars and tubed tyres [100/90 -17" rear] could be improved. Still much perplexed !! someone who has both please advice which one to go for, or follow wait n watch…

hey dudes..this is a good article to give such great details on both pulsar200 and karishma and i admit its awesome,and u guys heard about the new apache RTR160,though it cant be compared with 200cc bikes like the above 2 of them,its a nice competitor for 200cc bikes..since apache is packed with most of stylish features and technology though it greatly laks the power and muscular structure of pulsar and karishma..but it boasts of 0-60 in 4.6secs kind of equal to pulsar 200cc..anyways check it out too though from the comments i find only bajaj and herohonda fans over here,it does not cost much to check a new entry TVS competitor..

Bajaj pulsar 200 cc is very cool bike , n it is very much better than karizma , n by the way it is indian bike not like karizma , it is not fully indian it is combination of two company hero n honda, n honda is not indian company. buy indain made n make india proud.

Hey this goes out to all the so called zmazzzzz out there in ur Fuckin country, if ur a real ryder or ur MTV Roadie the gss wht try ur luck here in my plce cuz i promise you my Pulsar 200 will burn ur Fu*kin Ass Bad Boy 4m Nep Rydaz We represent Nepal!!!

chill out guys the last note pulsar sales and karizma DOESNT— well its quite a time now i hav seen one on road. plz guys never ever go for a zma.. i had one. it sucks. finally i found a bakra to sell my bike for only 35000. hero honda is dead,, i hav a pulsar 180 now its far too better than dat idiot zma. after all hero is a bicycle company and now it sales condoms also… heard of new pleasure??? yes its a ladies condom. Y SUD BOYS HAV ALL THE FUN??

guys come on grow up, i have been using pulsar 150, then 180 and now 200 may be next 250 and i`ve always been safe, now i cover 24km in 20 mins mind its bangalore traffic at 9.30 pm and obviously its all in ur hand how u ride and if you ask me anytime PULSAR nothing else can be the best…

when a person spends 80 to 90 k on a bike he hopes it should be durable and thinks tht he has got great machine with good parts. i want to say is after spending so much hard earned money on a machinary it should be durable and have good parts which should withstand any conditions

hey guys, I thing that bajaj and karizma companies are parrot as the have no idea about making a new style of bike as they repeat the same kind of model again and again with silly changes.You can see that the pulsar 200cc is similar to its eairly pulsar siblings 150,180 and the 220 is also the same with only the front portion changed and dont even talk about karizma its just stupid. indian bike company is realy back compared to others(foriegn)and indian companies only making these SICK KIND OF BIKES WITH 200-250CC OR THE MOST RUBBISH BIKE THE BULLET

comparision should b done separately……performance,handling nd stabilty on one side and features and looks on d other side…. on d features side….p200 has got lot more features thn zma….cancellable indicators,2 trip meters,oil coold engine,tubless tyres etc…nd looks wise both r betr….so for ppl who go for features p200 is betr…. on d stability nd handling side karizma is far more betr than p200…its wheel base is more than tat of p200…so tat sharp turns can b taken with ease while p200 slides wen a deep bend is taken…nd d brakin stability of zma is far betr than p200…though its brakin is nt sharp as tat of its competer…..so on d road zma rocks….. while cummin 2 performance…..zma is betr…..as d time passes p200 engines tunnin gets disturbd nd cannot b brought back….while zma’s engine remains same evn aftr 2 years of continous use…..nd d self starter of p200 wont function as it did in d startin bt the feather touch start of zma remains same forever…..nd beware pulsar parts r not reliable….1nce u crash p200 engine troubles start if u crash a zma(tats not easy) u need 2 spend money nly for its dome nd al…its engine vl not b affected.. so for true racers karizma is best nd for ppl who need features nd al p200 is best nd cummin 2 style is upto u…..

well well well Fact is all zma owners r feeling insecure of the new p-200 , thats why giving all this shit . leaving top end ,there is nothing in which zma beats p-200. no oofences guys . its natural the newer bike wuld be better than the previous 1. so why fight , zma reamined king of road for3 yrs , now its pulsars turn’

man…here people r fighting for which bike is best..well i dunno how come people tend to act so dumb..some people compare karizma n pulsar to amitabh n sharukh..haha..madness..some guys comparing benz n tata indica..really stupid..i guess they have no knowledge about bikes n they post here just to show off for nothing..anyways people who had pulsar wil tel it is best n others who own karizma will tell dat is best..so why fight..i guess both bikes depends on others taste..i personally feel both bikes r amazing..if i had to choose between these 2 bikes then i wud surely go for pulsar 200..i am planning to buy it anyways.. P:S. people who comparing bikes wid bollywood stars,u r dumb..trust me..lame losers..

pulser 150,180,200 Dts-i & 220 Fi is better than all of herohonda’s bike.bajaj gives more speed pulser 150 i have one year old 20500km ride.but my bike give me top speed if 118kmpl & mileg of 48kmpl.i m ruf rider.my bikes engine is so good.if you ruf use the herohonda bike its’s engine is down.first i had hh passion i ride it only one year & its engine pura khallas bhangar engine of all hh bikes.plzz don’t buy hh bikes.karizma top speed is only 120.

you guys out there, Stop being silly. Stop comparing both the bikes. it depends on ones own taste. P200 and zma are both high performance bikes in India. neither p200 outsmarts the new zma nor zma outsmarts p200.

Dear reader, I have RX 100.I was planning to buy one either pulsar or karishma.My friend bought one 2nd hand karishma clocked 45000 Kms.I test drived it.The ddistance i covered in RX100 had reached 70 kms, and karishma around 74 kms.The diff between 100cc and 220 cc are More vibration at 70 cc ,no sound and vibration. 1 st gear pick up great in karizma.Rx top speed is 100 kms/hr and Kma have driven till 75 kms/hr only. But you cannot campare the performance of RX 100 between 65 to 90 kms better than Kma. You might be shocked.I am sorry i have compared 2 stroke RX 100 with 4 Stroke. I don’t know why yamaha is coming out with milage bike alone. Since these bike are not so excellant than the features i didn’t go for new.But Challege the bikers in virudhai. I have heard that the quality of engine will be poor in bajaj but all my friend who have p150 are good.Now bajaj has most of the engineers from World fame R&D TVS.My friend’s Kma had crank problem and he is worried.I have also read about the over heating of engine in bajaj which will lead to less life. impragu@yahoo.co.in if you have RX 100 you can challege the 150 cc ‘s.

Hey guys Actually Pulsar 220 has got good looksthan zma. Nd also this vinyls and engine guard in zma can be done even by a child now, ha ha.. . Pulsar has got many features thet zma can never reach in near future. So those who are confused between these two (zma & Pulsar), i am recommending you to buy Pulsar 220/200, cos ithas got good mileaged, highly powerfull and reasonably priced. Its filled with many features Split seats, Wider & Tubeless tyres, higher stability, Automatic indicator switch off, Fuel Ingection( P 220), back lit control panel,digital speedo meter with orange backlit. Pulsar, Its definitly male, zma just suuucccckkkkkkkkssssssssssssss!!!!!

Hi vishal you are exactly rite i too owns a 1 1/2 year old pulsar done 25000 km even now i can beat every bikes on road. i drives the bike roughly. its givin me 50 or so mileage at speeds of abt 60-70 kmph. but if we drive a herohonda splendor or passion at that speed it will only give upto 35 mileage, in ordinary situation(at 40 kmph)you will get 55. hey guys you will be big loosers if you buy zma,cos it will ram your pocket its of low mileage. what for you are buyin this much powerful bike if you cant go fast.

Pulsar has got the property that it gives you steady mileage at all speeds. if you have any doubts ask your frnds who owns a pulsar. its got damn sexy looks. Here in the review itself they are saying that. you can decide whether you have to buy a bike that looks at the outside world through the window glass like a woman(zma), or with one that you can ramm the road just like a male(pulsar)

well ! I own 150 CC , i bought this 11 months back with 10500 km mileages..i received some mail saying broken forks of 200 CC…i seen with photo..with vehicle registration number.. I love pulsar…..but this kind of problem if increased , it will affect even 180CC and 150 CC…and other models… Will the pulsar desing peoples look in to ?

HONDA UNICORN AND HERO HONDA KARIZMA AND CBZ EXTREME ARE THE PRIDE OF INDIA AND THE BAJAJ PULSAR,DISCOVER PULSAR 180,150,200,220 ARE GOD LOOKING OBIUSLY NOT MORE THE KARIZMA BUT THERE PERFORMANCE IS TOO BAD

Karizma is the best and stylish bike ever made in India. Its got a superb performance than any other bike. Pulsar is just a dum bike. Its got a very bad engine. But Karizma is powerful. Its engine is dam good and powered. I Love Karizma

I am not a fan of BAJAJ or HONDA but i have rode new pulsar150,180,unicorn and CBZ-xtreme.Pulsar 150 and 180 are rough to ride with poor handling when compared to unicorn.Unicorn is better to handle and exceptionally smooth…even better than CBZ-xtreme.Pulsars have terrific acceleration and pickup and that is something to appreciate.At low speeds pulsars fare better than unicorn and xtreme.But pulsars had severe gear shift problems…such as gear slips and rotor chattering .Above 50kmph unicorn is very good in acceleration(better than pulsars) and gives you a comfortable ride.Severe chassis vibration was experienced with xtreme above 70kmph.Above 100kmph slight chattering was noted in unicorn but better than pulsars. Based on overall performance I would give unicorn a better rating in 150 segment.

Pulsar has got killing looks.Also giezmo speedos…If it is look which matters….don’t think!!!go for pulsar…no one has designed bikes more stylish than bajaj in the indian market…but if reliability matters…go for unicorn….it has the best engine and transmission than any other

Pulsar 200 rocks. I have just booked one in blue. And one crucial piece of information. P180 dtsi beats Karizma in acceleration but not in top speed. But 200 beats karizma in both. And let me tell you. I own P150 dtsi since last 2 years. I never had to use kick. So it doesnt really matter if theres no kick start in 200. My experience with pulsar was awesome. Tried Karizma. It feels so weak against 200 And chetan P220 will be launched by July end. No probs with Fuel injection. The thing is bajaj is releasing P220 in limited numbers around Pune, so that keep track of those bikes before launching country wide. As this bike is very important to them, and us Indians

Pulsars engine is a gem of an engine. I am saying this after spending more than 2 years with her. Even today she excites me very much. And i have made so many trips from Mumbai to Nashik, Murud janjira, Bhubaneshwar. If you service her periodically she will never let you down. And this has encouraged me to go for P200. If p150dtsi wasnt that good i would have gone for HH bikes. But i think HH bikes are exhorbitantly priced, just because they are tied up with Honda. Every HH bike you buy, you pay loyalty to Honda. Thats the reason why they are expensive. Why pay loyalty to Honda? And today i can say after test riding P200, Pulsars are on par with HH bikes in terms of reliability and overall quality. Also as Pulsar has 65% market share in Premium segment, it is obvious you will hear more problems from pulsar than any other bike. And i have seen people who dont take care of their bikes.

Banna before you jump to any conclusion with that picture, i just have a information for you guys The P200 did have an issue with its front forks and a couple of incidents were reported where the front forks cracked under braking. From what I understand neither rider fell off or was injured. Bajaj has since then, aggressive pursued P200 owners and replaced the forks with new ones of a stronger design. And from what i know P200 owners were called by Bajaj themselves to fix this problem And as P200 and 220 are technologically more advanced they are bound to have some trouble in the beginning. But now P200 is flawless and thats the reason why i am booking the one in Blue. Because i trust Bajaj

Zma-R really rocks i dont understand why Hero honda have detuned it to a max of 8000 rpm same engine is capable of doing 160KPH . i was shocked when i found this out If you people dont trust me read it on Wiki site here :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_Honda_Karizma Still bike owns the road due to its presence will get 1 soon

been riding ZMA from past 2 and half yrs. its the best and no bike( except for bullet ofcourse) gives competition to it. amazing power,safety,control,traction,reliability ………………………………… can go on abt it. rode a p200. it sucks. not upto the mark. engine starts vibrating at 110 km/hr. is it a speed at which a 200cc engine must vibrate? huh…braking..is ok…but while turning…u dont get much from the bike. takes days to reach 110 but ZMA…flick of the eyes..u r on 120…thats called a bike…wish it could touch 180!!! and yes, my record.stock karizma 138 km/hr. go for ZMA…it rocks…the best

pulsar is the best there is no comparison between a king’s bike and beggers bike soo frds i guess u got it what i’m saying so start burning the road with king’s machine(pulsar zindabab) aur karizama female bike murdabad

hey friends The article was good & intresting .But according to the article,the price and mileage of pulsar 200cc is good if maintaned & driven properly there will be no problem in pulsar.But i dont say that karizma is a bad bike it’s very good by it’s trendy & sporty look’s ,but as said by many mechanic’s it’s always aproblem with silencer{knocking sound} i own a pulsar150cc which gives 55KMPL in lane’s and 60KMPL in city roads and 75-82.5KMPL IN highway .I dont think u will believe me but it is a fact known to me & my mechanic. but according to me pulsar200cc > karizma223cc.Power wise200cc is less than 223cc butits acceleration ,power, performance is good. I give my vote to the pulsar200cc.it’s excellentand a better bike than karizma.

chinmay is that ur name or some other shit and coming 2 ur she pulsar r u having any biking sense ,u better do one thing go deliver ur ulsar n search any karizma owners and plan 2 race with ur SHE PULSAR AND HE KARIZMA THEN U WILL REALLY KNOW WHAT IS KKAARRIIZZMMAA and dont forget 2 beg him for a SPORTS RIDE have u watched the movie SIVAJI there superstar says that pigs come in group i.e, 150,180,200,220…. where as lion comeS in single i.e,223cc I THINK U GOT IT “JUST GET OUTOFF THE TRACK WHEN 223 IS ON THE TRACK”

yaaroooooo pulsar 200 just gives us speed but karizma gives geat control,great balancing but problem with karizma is tht its pickup capacity is less than pulsar 200 and it is also very expensive so both u leave and go for pulsar 180. karizma has plastic body it lacks beauty but pulsar has great combination of mag wheeels and engine.

pulsar is my dream bike but woh sapno mein he acchi lagti hai kyunki in real life it doesn’t working best , but zmaaaaa is a good bike comparison to pulsar b’coz its very good looking bike and you will get a smooth driving on road. i know zmaa is not hve a average bike but still its a very nice bike and if you choose pulsar on average wise so, dear you take a unicorn its a very good bike comparison to pulsar and karizamaaaaaaaaaa.

fuck OFF EVERY1 NOTHING IS GREATER THEN MY NEW YAMAHA-1500CC. BOLS FOR YOUR KARIZMA & PULSAR. IF ANY1 HAV ANY QUARRIES THEN LETS MEAT UP WITH A RACE…. I N MY FRIENDS WILL WAIT ON VIR NARIMAN ROAD. ON MUCHA COFFI SHOPE AFTER 6PM. RACE WILL STARTE AT SHARPE 7:00PM. MEAT THE FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pulsar 220 cc is Fuddu…..hahahhahaa Karizma is the best.,…Smoke hash With some Cash ..n Set back n relax on Hillz wid a ZMA……………. I had got chased by Some Stranger in Tours but me proved BesT once a biker in Shimla Highway on Pulsar 180 was caught by an Accident,while chasing me !!So Handeling ability puLsaR may not Compete… Karizma is Strong…Light weighed pulzr may Cause outabalance!! Pulsar also proves uncomfortable using the Disks…Coz of the Fuel Tank Popped up a lill from the area right next to Driving Seat !!!May cause Musle pul or hurt Abdominal area !!! So guys….i think Enjoy Karizma man… Or Wait for 4,5 Months,….to get the 250 karizma..if u want MORE !!! lolzzzz

all i like to say is what ever machine u ride doesnt matter. the thing is how u ride it,i can bet on karizma with 180 cc pulsar any one like 2 accept mail me on gameover_mi@yahoo.co.in as i say *U WANT SOME ,COME GET SOME*

Pulsar is the best bike for Indian roads.It has looks,style,power,mileage…wat else to you want.The price is also reasonable.Kariszma is now an outdated bike..go for PULSAR 220 CC…..and burn the roads.. can any one tell me the actual mileage nd price of new karizma and pulsar220? my id fedasajo@yahoo.co.in thank u

wat is their in karizma nothing its the same old engine when it was released.pulsar 200 is a new tech and definitely male thats y hh is afriad of bajaj so its releasing its bikes before bajaj does.bajaj bikes are of good mileage when it comes to safety all the bikes r dangerous till u ride it properly.

hey guys, i am planning to buy a bike[zma (or) p200] which will keep me always ahead.hell i dont care for mileage,i jus want a bike which has the fastest pick up,top speed and of course best HANDLING.but as for now i am confused a lot,i have asked a lot of people but some say p200 is best and some say zma is the best!!!.so guys plz help me out here!!!!!

Hi guys, I was jus goin through all the posts.. i was really not able to decide wether pulsar is best or Zma is the best.. To be open i own a Yamaha RXG where i have made some porting works in the engine had a small Drag race with Pulsar 200cc and i was really amazed tht pulsar was not able to catch my bike and i had a lead abt 20… Yamaha=132cc Pulsar=200cc its simple, y to compare pulsar with Zma=225cc… better stay with Zma “The beast at its Best”

Guys just check the CC of 150 pulsar. It is not approximately 150 it is just 143 which is equal to 145. The CC and performance of Bajaj is very poor, not durable and not Satisfying. I have Karizma for the last three years. It Rocks and other Sucks beside Yamaha.

With pulsar200 and karizma india is really rocking all the way. Bajaj is really doing a great job with pulsar family. karizma have an edge over pulsar200 with higher torque and engine displacement, but with high fuel efficiency and less price pulsar200 is a true bike of india and indian bike enthusiests.

according 2 my knowledge… honda is always better than bajaj… still bajaj is improving…. i can do nuthin else thn improving… coz the p 200 has fork problem… the clutch p 200 is very hard as compared 2 karizma’s soft clucth…. the sitting stance on karizma is much much more comfortable than the pulsar… honda needs no improvment… all it needs 2 improve is the karizma… the new karizma shud be like fuel injected, tubeless tyres, fully digital console, broader rear tyre, more horse power, mono suspension and old karizma styling like the 225 model… thn it can beat the pulsar 220 easily… thts all folk’s…..

I THINK KARIZMA IS BETTER BECAUSE IT STYLE IS VERY GOOD AS COMPARED TO THE 200.I BOUGHT MY YELLOW KARIZMA COUPLE OF DAYS BACK AND BY GOD IT HAS GOT THE BEST RIDING QUALITY.SO I WILL SUGGEST EVERYONE OF YOU BIKE LOVERS TO BUY THE 223CC KARAZMA.

I have a pulsar 200 and my brother has a karizma and to tell u the truth karizma rocks like anything.. has better speed, pick up and of course looks.. Hero Honda does not want to copy bajaj by bringing up self cancelling indicators, leds and digi speedo thou karizma was the first bike to come with a digital odo… so those who wanna get a karizma.. don wait.. those who wanna get 200.. plz think b4 u get one…

I think pulsar 220 is more better than karizma223. It is better in every cases every times so if you arre going to buy a bike and you are confused to buy karizma and pulsar you should buy pulsar black or red colour.

In the ‘Engine and Transmission’ section, the first line describes the Pulsar 200 as ‘Oil Cooled’. Even the manufacturer claims it as oil cooled. Actually it has to be written as ‘Oil is Cooled’. According to international standards, oil cooled means that the engine is cooled using oil, instead of air or water. In Pulsar 200 the gear oil is cooled using the radiator thereby maintaining it’s viscosity for proper lubrication. It does not help in cooling the engine. Kindly make the change.

pulser 200cc is nothing in front of Karizma…. though it has oil cooling system… still it sucks!!! it doen’t work…. it acts just as a extra fitting….. and coming about the looks…. karizma is Hot…. where as pulser!!! never mind totally dummy!!! ha ha ha…..

Hi Karthi, I am planning to buy a bike, most probably it wud be 200. I was searching for feedback abt P-200 and i found ur post to be REAL informative. Thanks a lot to pack it with so much info. n Keep up the good work.

Guys, i own a P200 since April done 9000, well maintained…but it doesnt go beyond 110kmph, mileage is 29 – 30 Kmpl even pro biking guys coudlnt help and it same with most of the upset owners, and the worst of all the bike doesnt start at many occasions for no reasons and Bajaj hasnt given us a kick start option ( well i belive it is not a super bike after all) and also the head light is worse…can not rely on it when no street lights (which is common in india)so i would never recommend a P200 ( or any UG3 version) with lot of unsucessfull digitalisation it is just too much complication. i am looking to buy a comet or karizma….

I have a karizma 10 months old fitted with full fibre engine covers on both sides and down the engine & fitted a 130\80 size rear tire… it still rocks. It gives me 35 kml average. And still goes between 125-130 Km/h speed on my meter. I hope if I had fit my bike with 150 size tire it would be same.

I hope Suzuki or Honda come up with their 600cc bikes soon in India maybe in next 4-5 years. Till then I’ll ride my Karizma. I don’t want to buy a new bike just for getting 2-3 BHP more on my engine….hahaha. I’ll wait for a 40-50 BHP Bike.

hi guyz guyz guyzzzz….. listen here some saying k..ma is the best but wat aa look pulser got by addiing stuppid taga … just cc it. in k…rm the milage is the exception . sooooo sooooo soooooooooo see down guyzzzzzz pulser always rockzzzzzzzz if it 150 0r 180 or 200 or 220 its the best byk in india mardhoooka byk haiii yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrr definately maleeeeeeeee

hello bikers, i own Pulsar 200 cc. i have been watching the bike market since last 3-5 years. bajaj seems to have gained number 1 position in bike technology in india now. the dynamic stability of this engine even at 135-140 km per hour is excellent and mind boggling which renders good control even under worst driving situations. manoveurablity is also good. must try it. i think my the engine is worth the mollahs you pay for it.

Obviously peoples…. the only conclusion is tooked out that Hero Honda Karima is BEST Bike ever… Bajaj P200 is cool but the thing is only that, it is BAJAJ… and name matters If some ask u which bike do u have ? and u answer PULSAR (even though it is 150cc or 180cc or 200cc or 220cc.. The listener will take Pulsar 150 in mind… which sucks… and in case of KARIZMA ??? It haves the different class of biking…SO JET SET GO… and ALWAYS GAME…

in my review i only pefer karizma i had test drived both and beleive me karizma is much smoother than pulsar yeah , karizma is slightly slower than pulsar 200 till it reaches 60km\hr but after that karizma had a great acceleration as compared to pulsar . i only prefer karizma coz it gives style but also gives better handling and comfort with more power and acceleration than pulsar 200. whereas pulsar is not as safe as karizma .

Dear All I was really confused to go for which bike.(karizma or pulsar) Both bike’s have awesome features amd look’s. Price effectively Pulsar 200cc is far much better then Karizma. Pulsar 200cc Rocks…..An about safety,It totaly depends on Person who is riding the Bike and not the bike itself. I have seen many accidents of Karizma as well as of Pulsar.So no issues with the bike’s the rider has to drive smart and fast ENJY……………………..

Guys Guys!! All said and done…but believe me…Bajaj bikes are bigtime bullshits…and Hero Honda bikes are fuckin awsome.. I own pulsar 220cc and ZMA also. So in terms of goodies..yes you dont have any match with PULSARS…in terms of POWER & STABILITY…ZMA ROCKS!! So all new fellows who are going for a new bike..my suggestion is to go for ZMA..(‘coz life comes first) Rest it all upto you… HAVE A HAAPY & SAFE RIDE

Guys don’t praise ZMA just because it is HH product. Every company has started their own product everyone on their feet like TVS, Bajaj, Kinetic etc. Only Hero is still depending on Honda. If Bajaj was scooter maker then Hero is still only cycle maker. Microsoft first launched MS DOS and now on Vista, sameway Bajaj has not only offered but also improved its products just IT products. I had TVS Shaolin, Splendor and now opting for Pulsar 200 and i have also ridden so called bike ZMA but nothing beats Pulsar.

hey good news for pulsar lovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) recently i and my frnd had a race on a highway with my pulsar 200cc n my frnds with dat bullshit R karizma.. though it has a 225 cc engiene n all i overtook him in just few seconds n the fucker karizma was left behind and was invisible soon……….lolz though karizma is strong contendor to pulsar but it will be always behind d pulsar. now d four brothers of pulsar r in d market who r goin to kick d karizma out of the market… so guys lets rock on our pulsar……… hamara bajaj………

hi,riders(readers) i was planning to buy a karizma when it was new in the market,but i bought pulsar150.after riding it an year iwas getting bore and was redy to ride something new..and now there is a great competition in the market. i was also very confused.but after the test ride of both bikes ,i found this one the bes belive me—————————kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hi guys Its totally, depends on the minds of riders. But ultimately, happiness comes when we feel the comfortable and pleasure ride. If price doesn’t matter u go for KARIZMA and if it matters then go for Pulsar and regarding safety, it depends on the rider. To rock the road u need to have gutz… And, please! believe me, its totally u r choice. But one thing is that, diff in price may be little bit high for karizma than pulsar. regarding pickup, price and style karizma is best. And for mileage, Pulsar has little bit higher than karizma. Rock the roads but be safe.

karizma is far bnetter than any modern day bike reesent in india…i have one..and am just waitin for reasons..to ride it… and i have done a race competition wid 220 dtsfi but karizma was far ahead… so wt ever records say just go for it

ah crap ! .. u think thats a review or takin from books and sites ?? did u foget that pulsar 200 DOEST HAVE A KICK ROD ! … and in india , where we hit rough streets and very rugged roads and heavy rains … the kickrod is da only way to start wen da bike stalls … infact , the bike does stall in heavy rain .. but da karizma starts in electric even when drowned in rain for hours ! ..

BULLET ELECTRA WAS MY THUMPER BUT WHEN FOR THE FIRST TIME I GOT THE CHANCE TO RIDE KARIZMA I FELT THAT IT IS BIKE FOR BOYS WHO LOVE TO RIDE THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIKE A SNAKE AND THAT TOO LIKE A FLYING SNAKE IT’S TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD AND CAN BET ANYTIME FOR IT FOR BEING NUMBER ONE

Hi, I like to buy a bajaj bike but I confused with mileage of 200cc. I have enquired in some show room’s some telling it wouldn’t give more then 30 KMPL some says around 40 KMPL. If I get commands those who are having 200cc is better. mail id is vrkumar79@gmail.com guide me

YIKES..WHY WOULD ANYONE SPEND SO MUCH OF MONEY TO BUY CYCLES???…INSTEAD SPEND 1.2 LAKHS [$3000] AND BUY THE 250CC NINJA…THE BIG DEAL IS IT DOES 0 TO 100KM/H IN UNDER 5 SECONDS WHILE GIVING A DECENT MILEAGE OF 35KM/L. NO WONDER WE INDIANS GET SUCKERED BY COMPANIES LIKE THESE ,SO WE ARE FORCED TO BUY MEDIOCRE GOODS.OF COURSE THE GOVERNMENT ENCOURAGES THEM TO SUCKER US…WHY ELSE WOULD THEY IMPOSE SUCH HIGH DUTY ON ESSENTIAL GOODS.JAI HIND!

Guys, Most of them are having Karizma and Pulsar, But what the others want to know is the problems with both bikes and not mileage. There should be some gearbox trouble or starting trouble or something else. Pulsar users they wont be knowing the complaints of Karizma and Karizma users too. You should mention the handling of bikes, brakes, controls, electronics and so on. This will surely help guys who are going to buy new bike.

hi Guys, i have tested both karizma and pulsar 200 and i think pilsar is better in every thing than karizma.looks,power,sensors,pickup and in the last it looks much better than karizma even after years

Hi Guys, Iam from bangalore,Recently i brought new pulsar 220cc first five days it worked fine on the sixth day it didnt start i called up the service manager he sent a technician to my house and this guy replaced the petrol pipe and from this day my nightmare started i had went on a long drive in between my journey my bike didnt start and i pushed my bike to the service centre and this guys again replaced the petrol pipe when i asked why r u doing this again they replied it is a new bike in the market and this is a common problem,there are lot of intermittent problems in this bike bajaj is making fool of customers they are putting cheap products in their bikes and testing on customers.Guys plsssss dont buy this bike i dont want you to suffer like me.

any wayz herohonda and bajaj have same comptetion in selling bikes in my case karizma vl burnout but can do stunts,but with new pulsur 200 cc u can enjoy the city traffic driving and stunts also ve can make easy

well,der is nothing as such good bike or bad bike ‘coz behind every bike ders engineering so one cannot rate just on looks or spec.it just depends on every individual wat he likes,wat he wants n sometimes d budget…every bike is a good bike KARIZMA is good at its position n similarly Pulsar OR some others..so guys jus keep dis thing in mind U KNOW WAT U WANT…comparison is such a foolish thing that people make…so be wise n choose wat deserves u d most wat suits ur personality enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

dude….both bikes rock…nd the article is gr8…i own 220 nd new karizma…i would say new karizma is safer..sexy nd has a lot of attitude….i found pulsar not so comfy….its smart nd powerful but i always prefer the karizma …its head turning

hello to HERO HONDA @bajaj fans .i really wish to go for KARIZMA R THAN any BIKE of bajaj HERO HONDA world:s no. one company and i hav no faith in bajaj there is no comparision between KARIZMA R and pulsar 200 KARIZMA R IS STARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AND pulsar and all bikes of bajaj r bekaar according to my experience and in all fields like mileage , price,good engine performance so there is no bike in india and in whole world that we compare wid KARIZMA R THANXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

hey guys… lotta fuss abt zma and p200…. i have a 200…. till before i got my 200 i assumed zma rocked and its filled with power…. but honestly i’ve dragged with 4 zma’s till date and have beaten each hollow…. this bike flies ppl…. zma is serious bull shit and not worth the amt…. i love my bike…. just clocked 137km/hr on nice road….. phew…. simply amazin…. have fun guys…. zma sucks!!!!

HEY ARJUN…….. FIRST THING…….NO PULSAR 200 CAN BEAT A KARIZMA……… SECOND THING…….(IF U HAVE TAKEN 4 ZMA’S IN A DRAG) THE MAY BE IDIOTS ON THE ZMA…… THIRD THING….. STOP GIVING BALL TALKS THAT U HAVE CLOCKED 137km/hr ON A PULSAR 200 U WANT A REAL DRAG COMPETITION……COME RACE ME….!!!! I HAD THE OLD KARIZMA N NOW I HAVE A KARIZMA R I WILL SHOW U WHAT A DRAG IS…………. ZMA ROCKS………………………………………. pulsar SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pulsar gives more freaky gadgets which are more useless in a commuter segment. With no kick start they will make the battery company earn more. Why are ppl bothered about mileage when they are looking for a sporty bike???? Karizma is more safer due to the design and the centre of gravity; where as Pulsar continues to load their front suspension and there are verdicts of the suspension breaking up. Again at higher speeds the handle gains stiffness unlike the Karizma which has the fixed lamp will remove the friction offered on the handle. Many claim a fixed headlamp is disadvantage. Yes, it is as long as u have to make a sharp turn and then park in the parking lot with small gap btn vehicles. and many claim the light, Whom do u expect to turn the handle in high speeds dude grow up we tilt the bike and the wide focus is enough to light up the area. Also with fixed headlamp park the bike a bit ahead and there is no danger of the visors being scratched by other bike’s handles. When its racy & sport we need a gear box to trust upon which can shift easily, better riding position and optimum safety. Here ZMA scores. Pulsar scores in terms of fully digital consoles (dont bank on it have verdicts of getting hung), self canceling indicators though an advantage not a must have necessity. The only big adv I think of in Pulsar against ZMA is oil cooled engine.

Hi Guys, The review is very use full. Also every ones suggestion is helpful in selecting a bike. Now am planning to buy a new bike. currently am using Splender plus. I want to buy new one, after a long searching i select one, ie Pulsar 200cc. But i want to clarify two things 1) Pulsar 200cc has no kick lever right, is there any disadvantage of this. 2) Pulsar 200cc has no chain guard. whether we can put chain guard additionally if we want ?? these are the two thing made me little confuse. Friends plz give your suggestions, also refer any other bikes that you feel good. Thanks in advance, VIJAY.

Hey manish Garg.. Be genuine while talking about bikes. Dont give up words. Wot u know about bullets and there performance. U silly people are talking about 100-200 CC. This is different category and they are called MUSCLE BIKES. Dont ever try to comment on unwanted stuffs.

pulsar 200 & karizma both r good bikes but karizma is for those who seems to be diffrent from the mob b coz all pulsars looked same from back and no one differentiate them either 180 or 220 so in my openion Karizma is the best. who needs fuel efficiency they must go for F**k YO bike rather than karizma KARIZMA ROCKS

koi galti se v pulsar mat lena coz it is live example : my friend buy Pulsar 180 on 5/11/07 and he himself says that the quality of pulsar is not good because engine gives huge noises, paint removed from engine even dtsi sticker(on the engine)is also removed by washing in the agency. he abuses pulsar technology trust me or u can call him @ 098729-40300(aman) he had visited ICU (bajaj agency) for six times in a fifteen days so u can imagine .i too planed to buy pulsar 200 with him but at that time pul 200 is not available (IS LIYE MAI BACH GAYAA) after a weak i test ride of pul 200 and karizma the difference is there-karizma is smoother with great pickup, style ,built,so i decided to go for the king karizma . conclusion : KARIZMA IS THE KING (DIFFERENTIATE UR SELF)if it is yellow then sone pe suhaagaaa pulsar valsar ko goli maaro saare ik jaise ie.180,200,220

KARIZMA vs P200 vs P220-Some interesting facts. Let’s keep aside the usual trumpery topics like the Looks, Aesthetics, Obsoleteness, Gismos etc regarding the three Bikes,,,, Instead, We are here to talk about Power, Brilliance of engineering, Reliability and above all, The real on-road Performance or The PRAGMATISMS regarding the three bikes….. Let’s talk like Men……not like wranglers. Note: All the figures referred here are taken from the OVERDRIVE magzine-September-07… So there is no reason to doubt the credibility of the figures. Performance Specifications Karizma / Pulsar 200 / Pulsar 220-Dtsi MaxPower-16.9ps /18ps /20ps Max Torque-18.35Nm /17.17Nm /19.12Nm Speed: 0-60- 4.70s / 0-60- 4.55s/ 0-60-4.43s 0-80-7.34s / 0-80-7.52s / 0-80-7.47s 0-100-14.05s / 0-100- 13.46s / 0-100-13.11s Overall Mileage-43.5kmpl /40.6kmpl/38.5 Top speed-125.6kmph / 118.7kmph /127.19kmph Kerb weight-150kg /145kg /150kg Price-Rs 74,000 (Bangalore) /Rs-65,500 (Bangalore) /Rs-83,500(Bangalore) Point No.1) Take a look at the power output figure of the three bikes. Obviously Karizma is nothing in front of both 200 and 220 .Moreover P220 wins with a big margin. Point No2) Now take a look at the ‘real on-road’ performance figures. 0-60- P220 with MAX gain of .27sec !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 0-80 KZMA with MAX gain of .18sec !!!!!!! 0-100- P220 with MAX gain of .94 sec !!!!!!!!! Top whack- P220 with MAX gain of 1.59kmph !!!!!!!!! Mileage- KZMA with a MAX gain of 5kmpl It’s time to think definitely…. For instance compare the performance of KZMA and P200- Neither the 5kg lighter body or the extra 1.1ps is helping P200 to win the scene. Else consider the acclaimed value for money of P220- After paying 8750 bucks extra for the P220 what I’m getting is a .94sec’s (Max) gain in acceleration from (0-100) and not from (0-80) and a 1.54kmph higher top speed(!!!!!!!) which is NEGLIGIBLE in the real tarmac world.(Just leave the fuel efficiency factor aside.).. It is vivid from the test figures that, though P200 as well as P220 posses technical advantages like extra BHP, Fuel Injecter, Oil cooler, DTSi., Lighter kerb weight etc etc…..they are just struggling to gain the ground….Meanwhile P200 just fight hard to the gravel….. Remember the Bells and Whistles affirming the ‘ futuristic technology’ of P220?? Now the real question is,,,, a)What the f@#$% did u slackers gain with those high end, ultra advance, super boasted technology?????? b) What do the piteous customers who pay the extra 8750 bucks get????? Is the answer- A gain in acceleration of .94sec’s(maximum) and a 1.54kmph higher top speed and a lose in 5kmpl ??? Or is it the ‘gismos and gadgets’ that comes with the bike?? (save for the rear disc-the only practical advantage I see in P220) Else do you have a trouble free history/reputation to claim about???? (Bajaj Answer this) BULL @#$%.. Again, according to the Over Drive test report, KZMA still outscore the P220 in the refinement stakes, especially past 6000 rpm. Every bike enthusiasts will admit that the quality and refinement of KZMA engine/gearbox is impeccable, especially evident if you over cook the engine. Whereas the Pulsar is a “renowned looser” in this game of quality. After ridden hard for few months, all the Pulsars including the 200 loses its performance significantly and even clamber to catch up with an equally abused Unicorn. I am not trying to lay my claims here, but…these are just FACTS… Bajaj….U gotta be kidding us……aint u ??? Well to be sincere I am also a true blue Indian and always wanted to see at least one Indian company to come up technically superior someday…. Big sales figure and attractive commercial ads alone doesn’t mean the company is superior… does it???…. Instead of pointing out their flaws and make them draw out quality products, lot of tomfools are praising them without any noises…. Do u really think all the Indians live in a ‘blunt trauma’ like ur regular customers???? Of course your falling sales figure says -WE JUST DONT.. Point No3) Let’s see what the ‘wise asses’ will do!!!! With the saved extra 8750 bucks, and 5kpl efficiency gain, we can terrifically perfo tune the Karizma’s to a REAL BEAST….. Here is the list of parts that go into the cart with the saved money. 1) A branded free flow Silencer-Rs1250 2) Big size Carb – Rs 3000 3) NGK Iridium Plug- Rs 700 4) NGK HT cable- Rs700 4) K&N- Rs 1600 5) Head face Shaving,Port Polishing-Rs1000 6) Bigger sprocket- Rs 500 Point No4) You may have a doubt that how effective/efficient these modes can be. Check out this video clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw9LLn_BS2w of my Karizma put on Dyno which has undergone just a MILD perfo tuning job. In the end part of the video,the graph shows the bike easily ‘crossing’ 145kmph mark…. Now thats what we call BRILLIANT ENGINEERING…….. A bike built for power and not just power. But raw power, scintillating speeds shouldn’t be brought into the topic of fuel efficiency. But the first thing that gets noticed by others is the fuel efficiency of superbly styled bikes. Well this beauty returns a mileage of 38-43kmpl on steady driving at 60kmph in city conditions. And at least 45kmpl on highways on maintaining 80kmph speed. As for those who doubt these figures, I cannot do anything bout your astonishment or amazement with which you are reading that a 223cc bike returns 45kmpl in the city conditions. Well gentlemen it is the truth. But the main important things are that you shouldn’t open up the throttle and try speeding away. Gear shifts and acceleration should be gradual. a smooth driving style with minimal gear shifts is to be followed. And bajaj is not a consistent performer. As the days pass by the performance of the bike deteriorates and this is the bitter truth. If you still don’t believe me please check out the 2nd hand market for the number of Pulsars available 2006, 2007 models to that of Karizma/ CBZ’s why? Disadvantages of Karizma: 1. No crash guard 2. If you have a fall be prepared to spend at least 10k from your pocket 3. At nights Pulsar has better focused Head lamps 4. The cover over the silencer tensed to get scratched easily. Pulsar is also a very good bike. But when compared with engine life and reliability one should go with Karizma any day. No hard feelings ride safe and always remember to wear a helmet.

Hi! I am really crazy about the pulsar & its family. I have just booked a Avenger 200cc Oil cooled bike. I think Bajajis the best Two Wheeler company for Indian customers, it is producing hassle free & maintainence free bikes along with performance. Pulsar is the best Indian Sports Bike for ever. Wish me the luck for my Avenger 200cc Oil Cooled Ninad

I believe Krizma is a better choice. Although it’s not made for city road. It’s for highway!! In high traffic city road, u can’t handle it nicely. It’s more aerodynamic than Pulsar. Only thing is mileage and parts cost. So, boyz it’s a costly toyz!!

hi guys iam dheeraz and i recently buy pulsar 200cc it was outstanding superb sexy and iam a college student our college girls are daily watching my bike and they all love my bike very much they were trying to ask me lift and iam very happy and my friends were very jealous of this bike and they were saying that my bike is very sexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy thank you bajaj and pulsar is the king of bikes in the world

hey guyz..here s wht i hv to say,i think bajaj was a pathetic pidly mixer jucer and light bulb making company,which tried to shuffel its cards here n there n everywhere and in almost all the buisiness,bajaj autos were makin nice lil scooters when hero honda were giving india some of indias first real rideble bikes,okie okie i kno royal enfield were still thr thn,…but one think tht came along..much for bajajs resuraction,was the name. pulsar!!ever since its birth it has been the longers thorn in hero**honda**’s stinking ass..infact the pulsar add tht used to be on tv every now n then with those big boobie nurses cherring the birth of the boy..has actually very befitting on pulsar,,it was a new born boy 150,started to go to school at 180,and passed class 6th at 200.this 220dtsfi is how tht boy is attending his first board xams..its so amazing to see this boy grow up..n guess wht..it is actlly screwin zma royally already..guess wht happnes whn the boy attends college..haan/….vaise bhi..this hero honda thing never appealed to me.jus cuz its not even indian..out of 80000/bucks we spend on zma,,almost 17grands goes to honda for providing tht shit of an engine..no comeon guyz u are fighting for sme pathetic company which in its 20yrs of existance cudnt even learn to make its own engines..atleast bajaj has learnt dat much from dat kawasaki alliance n now making sme real gud ones for india..u remember whn i said hero honda gave india sme real gud bikes in past.it ws still honda which made the engines ,,n gearboxes for hero group,,yy,,jus cuz govt jus wudnt allow thm direct entry like dat into indian market.now comeone u tell me wht is the basic building block of a bike..a gud engine and a gud gearbox…isnt it..rest all can be just befitting..if hero has to give our hard earned money to sme japanise giant as lagan..i wudnt buy thr product even if rest all is shit..r we livin in free india of wht..u guyz still wanna sme chinky japany lagan..haan/..i don wanna pay…. vaise i own a pulsar200 and own a royal enfield…..they both have been very gud to me..n i simply love thm..

you guys who like karizma are such a fools . First off all in one year the body of karizma gets gang offf means it get loose . And the other thing the mileage of the bike is bull shit. P200 rocks any time

Dude i would not read the review writeen by a retard who classifies karizma and pulsar 200 as cruiser bikes . and not once , but many times , and confidently . Do have any clue as to the engine sizes and specs of bikes offered abroad ? Just a similar looking body does not mean you can compare . You have no clue what you’re talking about , and take your stats from magazines , so why not leave the reviewing to them , and avoid making a complete ass of your self ? reply if you care vikramwakhlu@yahoo.com

After reading all this could not resist my self, i have bought a ZMA r today, to be honest in long runs and stability nothing beats a ZMA, and i like to ride a female (i.e is my babe ZMA) I am definitely male so would not ride another male pulsar ( that’s definitely GAY) nways, both are supposed to be good bikes. Karizma would loose in accleration but try a 2000 kms race and check out who wins… ZMA would win hands down.. He he he .. Happy riding.

Hi friends, I just read the post and it was a great comparison. I appreciate you for maintaining a neutral tone here, but skipping down to the comments, I was disappointed. I own a Pulsar 200, but I have nothing against Karizma. It’s a good bike, just like my Pulsar 200. Just the fact that you own a Karizma doesn’t make Pulsar 200 bad (Inverse of this is also the same). Let’s maintain some neutrality in our comments please.

Hi Guys, I ride a ZMA…both the old one and the latest ZMA are far too good compared to a Pulsar! Pulsar doesnt stand a chance when it comes to the >200cc segment. ZMA…is as smooth and powerful as u want it. Its a pleasure riding it and it just rocks!!! cheerS!

Hey Guys …i bought a new ZMA black 1 week back. The comments i got form the babes in my office were like “What a bike !, “Sexy bike man” , “When are we goin for a ride”….believe me guys, girls just love karizma….thats the style part of it. When it comes to smooth riding ZMA rocks …. M not a gyaani about the technical stuff but m really satisfied with the bike’s performance. All u Pulsar fans gotta admit it that whenever a “Karizma” passes people tend to atleast stare it for a second. Ride Safe !!!!

please stop writing the fakes that karizma clicks to 0-60 quicker than p200.And the top speed of the two bikes are you a karizma lover ora part of hero family .you have mentiond the top speed of karizma correctly 125km/h but 121km/h is not the real top speed of p200 its 130km/h tested and marked by the company.u may see the catlogue to confirm . you cant change the top speed yourself.and p200 clicks 0-60 more faster than zma.And the engine thing the more powerful and devil engine will surely make a noise not a smaller one. I also own a karizma n i have seen it being defeated even by a pulsar 150cc.Then how it could be that best.

hey guys….. KARIZMA is a BRAND. PULSAR is not at all BRAND. U cant make out which bike is coming in front of u. (150! or 180! or 200 !) But u can easily spot out the sexy stylish look of Karizma-R. Bajaj is updating the pulsar with small changes. But HeroHonda always tries for new models. Ex: herohonda HUNK and herohonda CBZ-extreme. Last but not least…….. Its impossible to catch Karizma on the pulsar-200 because the pickup reduces from 3rd gear for pulsar whereas it remains the same till the 4th gear for KARIZMA.

I have riden both bikes pulsar 200cc and Kzma R. What i can say is ,Kzma is easy for your hand.You feel lighter when riding even though the bike is heavy.When riding pulsar my both hands started to feel heavy and uncofertable after riding only 15 min. Dtsi give you a good pickup.but at higher speeds kzma’s engine runs smmoth

sunil_leagend please throw out leagend from ur name cause u have not got a tough competitor in ur area thats why ur so superstitious about zma.its not a joke the man nrs has mentioned 150 beating zma.do not stick to the zma results.come n see ur ass kicked off.zma looks like old bikes in vice city,hope u have played it . and the cheetah thing no single cylinder bike can be termed cheetah unless its a two cylinder bike.Do not speak ,see it to believe.

Hi bajaj, I have decided to buy the new T.V.S Flame but I have read in the news paper that this year bajaj is going to launch its four new bikes in 125cc segment and I want to know that when all that bikes are going to hit the market.Please reply me…If any of the bikes satisfied me I will definately waits for bajaj.

The earlier karizma was little good , bt this new karizma is horrible . it jyst look like tatoos which we got free from bubblegum……… Pulsar 200cc is the best …………. all females are a big fan this bike. i luv pulsar 200…………

hello i prefer karizma and tht stupid pulsar 200 makes many problems such as starting problem and the service is not good .if we give pulsar for servicing we dont find any difference and if we compare in hero honda the bike becomes smoother and noise less SO ALL PULSAR LOVERS JUST FUCK OFF WITH PULSAR HA HA HA HA HA HA H

90% of the ppl who own a karizma at this point of time in the country have bought it because they were mesmerised by its looks..but the 1% that own a pulsar 200 today are ppl who have notable discretion and smart iqs…after weeks of research i would say that both bikes are good,but the 200 is definately a wise mans choice..

hey guyz, what ever the pros and cons of the bikes be, one thing i want to share with u guys being a ZMA owner is that, ZMA has certainly the best engine and engine life compared to 200 and 220 CC pulsar. RAW facts about KARIZMA are, it’s top speed in regular conditions does not cross 125kmph. it’s mileage at 80KMPH double riding is around 37kmpL. if driven slowly at 40kmph u WILL get around 45kmpL. Please do change the stock zma tyres to better DESIGNED tyres for MAXIMUM safety which the bike offers AT ANY SPEED. HAVE A SAFE DRIVING EVERYONE.

well its a endless topic to argue some goes for cosmetics looks some goes for value for money ! unquestionably Hero Honda is making the No.1 position so far in India. Well Bajaj is not far behind after making the benchmarks introducing Fuel-injection, Alloy Wheels, Split Seats, Auto-cancellation, Amber light Digital Meter with Night glow, Strong Silencers, Oil Cooled Engines and nothing but not the least broadest tyre in its category with churning with the more than expected mileage producing engines ever from Indian manufacturer with International Styling at Indian Prices Well Said “Buland Bahart Ki Tasveer Buland Tasveer Humara Bajaj”. Honda have the best fit finish of the two wheeler vehicles where Bajaj have benchmarked cutting edge technologies along with less spare cost in market. Choice is really on user. Both are Indian Sibling where honda scores in sales and bajaj scores in value for money. Arun Sharma Embedded Computer Engineer Govt. of India New Delhi India.

Its a very control bikes and can be eaisly controled at high speed i realy love my pulsar 200cc and my advice to al the boyz who have karizma should try this bike and as i am an stunt rider i can give u a nice advice you can contact me on 09305127992

hey guys i m havin pulsar200…n i think compared to k*****ma its better in mileage, better in pickup,maintainable bike …ya in one thing k*****ma beats p200 ….cost.hahahahaha so go 4 p200 its cool in every field.

Zma really rocks, Zma toches maximum 140, as well as pulsar touches only 130, it is proved in youtube, Cant believe go and check which bike is faster, Another one matter nobody will give full acceletor on first gear, plz chexk it will cross 40km/hr

Hi,recently ive got a chance to ride both the machines,and i found that i was correct.ZMA is the sexiest!!i had a ride on both of my friends bike,wat i found is pulsar has only good looks and unnecessery features like-led tail lamp,unnecessary digital meters.I mean now who will need super power brakes wen ur bike offers only 14PS torque!!karizma gives F***ing 17PS torque.karizma outperforms P200 in sporty look,power,smoothness,comfort as well as mass,[a sport byke shud be hevy acc. to me:)]nw its upto u to decide that wit karizma will u give f*** to all.or instead buy a pulsar to get f*** from all. and let me tell all those who define karizma on basis of price-if u dnt hav the “aukaat”, then dont do so! II || oo||oo \ / | |

both the bikes had gud things n draw backs the gear system is gud in pulsar 200, its very hard in karizma seating is excellent in karizma but not in pulsar 200 handling is gud in pulsar u can get gud milage for pulsar 200

I will say that PULSAR 200cc & 220cc is china made bike. Even KARIZMA is not the one which u can say sports bike. I suggest for a bike-lover to go with YAMAHA RX-100. if u ask me personally i will say better go for “ROYAL ENFIELD-BULLET 500cc”.

K A R I Z M A I S T H E I N D I A N O N E & ONLY S P O R T S BIKE IN INDIA . AND WHEN ITS IN BLUE COLOUR U GET EVEN MORE ATENIO AS I DO GET . MY FRIENDS ARE EVEN JEALOUS OF THIS ATTENTION . SORRY FOR BEING >>>>>>>>> K A R I Z M A T I C >>>>>>>>>>

hey bikers pulsar has got everything style .power .advanced technology bla….bla….bla . but no safety an accident prone one you could say at top speed bike has no handlling .keeps wobbling. whatever / i am a karizma fan riding it on roads having it for 2 yrs . . guys what if your pulsarrr….220 or 200cc bike self start buzzz of what are u gonna next .ne ways keep pushing ur bike u ll loose some weight . come on guys its only a 220cc or 200cc not some 1000cc bike that does not need a kick start ……………………………………………………………….karizmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa rockzzzzzzzzzz

WHATEVER ALL SAYS BUT I AM A TEEN AGER AND I HAVE BOUGHT 3RD BIKE IN WHOLE AHMEDABAD AND 16TH IN GUJARAT BUT NO DOUBT NIETHER KRZMA NOR ANY OTHER BIKE CAN BE COMPARED WITH P200. IN MY SCHOOL I HAVE IMPRESSED MANY OF BABES BY CREATING RACES AND STUNTS. ITS THE ONE ON WHOM I CAN RELY THAT I CAN RACE WITH 1000CC BIKE WHEREVER/WHENEVER.ITS THE PERFECT BIKE FO RANY TYPE OF BODY LANGUAGAE AS KRZMA IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THIN AND SHORT HEIGHTED PEOPLE.THINK UPON IT,ITS ALL EXPERIANCE.

one thing i wanted to tell all those bajaj 150,180,200,220 cc bike owners that all of bajaj bikes suc——- and one more thing that bajaj bikes more look like chinnnnnnnnaaaa made so beware of bajaj’s sucking quality and go for karizma

ABE SALLE ANSON TERI MAA KI……. TERE KO PATA HAI KYA KARIZMA KITNI MAAL BIKE HAI.ABE PULSAR 220 AUR 200 KO MAI NE HARAYA.[PICK UP ME]. THIS WAS A MSG FOR THE MOTHERFUCKER ANSON[THE AANND KHAU BOY]. BY THE WAY UR ALL THE ARTICLE WAS BETTER.I THINK KZMA IS THE BEST BIKE IN INDIA.MY KZMA GIVES A MILLEGE OF 45 KMPL IN THE CITY AND ABOVE 50 KMPL ON HIGHWAY.I BOUGHT MY KZMA IN 2005.I MAINTAIN IT VERY CAREFULLY. NOW GO AND FUCK OFF….THE PULSAR 200 AND 220’S ASSES…………

heyiii u ppl really think that pulsar is better than Zma?? wat if pulsar is more fuel efficient?? more powerful?? more features?? needs less maintaining?? even then CBZ n ZMA r better..right hero honda guys?? heyii ppl luk this is a neva ending discussion comparing both legendary bike makers.. ya offcourse Hero Honda engines r any day more rugged.. but u cant say say 180-150 or 200-220 engines were the same.. they increased the bore size n so they had to change evrythn relating to its fuel discharge n cams position..thats what engineers r made for.. ppl thats really a tuf jod u jst cant keep urself away appreciating their work.. even i own a pulsar…,n ya definitely pulsar 200 is the better choice than any other bike in the Indian market,on the Indian roads.. u may also luk for 220 if u want really that thrust n trauma.. sorry ZMA n CBZ guys..,i accept the potential in ZMA n old CBZ.. bt days r gone.. n u hav no choice bt to accept the fact… if u still dont agree..,talk to me.. @ karan_4n@live.comkaran_4n@yahoo.comkaran4aaki@gmail.com nywy pulsar 200 has oil cooled engine..,wich hardly works..lol..

Hey Guys, I just bought P200 and I have some problems with it like back brake is not that good. I have to rely on the front disc brake. is this the case with other bike? Is there any way I can fit a disc brake in the back wheel? Now TVS has introduced Apache RTR with Back disc brake and Fuel injection. do you think Bajaj would do it on P200? in competition with TVS. Please somebody reply me Bala

I have read many comments about bajab pulsar 200 and karizma……………i would truely say that p-200 is better than karizma……….it has gr8ter looks…..pickup is more…..maintenance cost is less…..bajaj hass been a promising company for since they started from cheetak……..I had a race with my friend who has karizma….we bought about in the same week and I was far ahead from him …….karizma has many demerits……..if accident takes place then cost for repair is much more than P-200………P-200 also have oil cooled and a appealing speedometer and also bhp of P-200 is more than karizma . Karizma has 17.5 bhp and P-200 has 18 bhp……I also drove karizma but i wasnt satisfied……….If anyone finds it difficult to decide wat should b choosen from both then i would suggest that P-200 is best and if then also u dont trust then u can go for a test drive u will experince the difference…….Bajaj Pulsar 200 cc experince ahead……..

pulsar 200cc is better in looks and got a very heavy look karizma looks vey light and kya kehte dhili bakar i just hate karizma go for pulsar 200 cc now and after this go for pulsar 220 cc becuse that bike is best of the best and after this go for pulsar300cc because that one is the god of bikes better than hayabusa or r1

Karizma is really a nice bike.It is more powerfull and safer than 200.200 got only some attractive features like its speedometer and a small sporty look.Karizma looks like a super bike and got nice clutch,gearbox and got quick responce from the accelator.Karizma got nice initial more than any other bike.I tested both Karizma and 200.

pulsar 200 is the best compared to karizma pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best pulsar is the best

ma self vini…i hav karizma…..and its ossum….all the person who hav….pulsar….they all are fool….there r no such typ of any comparison between….karizma and any other byk…hav a race comon,,,,,,,,,,,,ma machine…karizma get set go

hey guyz………so there is a war b/w pulsar200 or P200 and Karizma or kzma………well truely i will tell u my xperience……..my brother and i bought kzma and P200 resp. as per our choice…….well many time we had a race and the result is that i won 80% of our total races……becoz P200 has much pickup , bhp ,and its avg is more than that of kzma…..p200 gives u 35-40km/l in city and at highway 40-45km/l……..as u all know that features of P200 is much better and i like its cylincer and its sound……P200 is the LORD OF STREETS…….if someone really has problem in deciding i will sugest that u must have a test drive of both and compare everything before u buy…….i m sure that u will go for P200 becoz Bajaj is always distinctly ahead….

Well Well afta goin thru all ur comments i wana post sumtin 4 d karizma or zma owners….!!!! hey fellas i own a 200ccpulsar and i feel dat zma shit is notin near to it….!!! i neva say zma is a piece f junk but to b frank wen we talk abt 0 to 110kms karizma can onli kiss pulsar200’s ass…!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA……..!!!!!!!!!!:))))))

First of all i would like to thank karthi for this good article… but u guys commenting on this article r such losers… u guys compare bikes to actors… u guys obviously dunno shit bot bikes… get a life u faggots… n try learnin some english… both the bikes r gr8.. it depends wat u want… n somewhere bak n top…. thr is a guy commentin on his mileage… excuse me… the mileage of ur zma clearly depends on how u ride it… so clearly u do 0-60 in 3hrs…. so all u ppl get a life.. learn some english… n dont make conclusions on which bike is better.. if u want stylin n aggressiveness choose the p200.. n if u want a more relaxed n sporty ride choose the zma….

i brought my karizma bike before 5,,,,before that i use pulsar 150 dtsi,,,,,now i use both bikes,,,,pulsar is agood bike for ridding,,,,,but karizma make me more interested in ridding ,,,because when i made a race with any one ,,its sure,,,i won that race..when my vechicle entered in to NH it will maintain a constant attraction with road and move with a high speed with out any vibration,,,i ride my bike up to a speed of 120……,in pulsar imake a maximum speed of 100 a message for yuth; when u try to buy a bike ,,,,u must buy karizma and enjoy the world of speed colour of my bike is black with red alloy wheel

I think guys ther is no compar batween this two bikes pulsar is fuel economy easy spares availability good pickup in city ride and karizma is heavy on pocket not available spares heavy weight very big bike

Bikers, Karizma 225cc is stronger than Pulsar 200cc no doubt. But in looks and all other features Pulsar leads we all have to agree. Some of us said excluding kick start and including digital meter is very negetive side. Guys its normal that we don’t accept changes so easily. But these things are still in test and trial mode. In future versions they will be ok I guess and credit goes to Bajaj. Soon Hero Honda and TVS will come with these things. Just wait and see. And we all are talking about speed, tourque, bla bla bla,… Stop dreaming. Where is our Roads? Where is our Money? If we have plenty then wait a bit. Pulsar 300cc is comming. Yamaha is coomming with new designs by copying and altering its actual models but its150cc. In the end guys if you buy a Pulsar 200cc you will not regret. Lui.

hey…..a very well written article….. all off a sudden i was just confused which bike i should buy whether karizma or pulsar 200…..but now my confusions are very much clear….this is right that hero honda is the best company as compared to bajaj….but bajaj products are ultimate…in lieu with the pick up of the bikes therefore…..if anyone has to choose which bike they should buy karizma or pulsar 200….then y suggestiong for him would be pulsar 200….its an awesome bike…really u’ll like it….it has gr8 looks as welll…and the pick up is ultimate…. so i can conclude my comment just by saying that my confusions are now clear and i will buy pulsar 200..

Hey Guys Dont Fight As Pulsar is 200cc n KARIZMA is 229 cc So P200 Is The Son of KARIZMA…….I have a black one People Die on it….And Every one Can Buy Pulsar But not Karizma…..For that They Need Gutts………..Karizma ho tho Khana bhe Nahi….Only Petrol…….hahahahahahaha

Karizma is far better than pulsor220 it has smooth gear shifting and perfect Balance which gives u best control on Bike. Karizma has its own class and the best bike of India Karizma needs only Two major modifications- oil cooled engine Rear Disc brakes. Its looks very different frm all other bikes but pulsor 220 is only diff frm its front Visor rest of the parts r same as other pulsor models .

pulser 200cc Is the better bike then Karizma because every 1 needs a new look new name & honda is the oldest 1 but whatever it is i no that honda rocks man but 4 the good safety 200cc is the best 1 & on highway it really boom man you will get a good fell about your bike 200cc that yes man there is some thing different then 225cc well 200cc is the best 1 even it is cheaper then Karizma , but he you dont have any problem about money then you go 4 karizma well if you do have some financialproblem then you go 4 Pulser 200cc it has good pick up nice look both tube less tyres dashing look .

i gotta karizma it is the only bike that has guts to burn road ,pulsar is too far behind karizma it has always tried to copy hero honda but couldnt suceed HEY PULSAR DONT DARE TO COMPETE WID MY KARIZMA

DK & NC says: “You might have a valid point here. People keep on mixing things. But still, in the international context I would hesitate before calling pulsar or karizma as a sportsbike. In developed countries, 150 cc or 200 cc bikes are like a dwarf in comparison to the 1000cc sportsbikes.Only teenagers and people who are not able to get a bike license, ride these 150cc or 200cc bikes. Thus, in the Indian context, it matters less to me if you call pulsar (or karizma) a cruise bike or a sportsbike because they dont fit in either of the 2 categories.” Guys…. u sucks! First of all India is not a developed country, so dont compare Bikes which are available in India with International context. This is India Dude where roads are not good to drive fast whether a car or a bike. Indian conditions are very much different in compare with developed countries, so, Indians are happy to drive these low level machines, but considered as the top level machines available in India. In developed countries, they drive 1000cc bikes, its true; but 200cc engines are suppose to be new in India and in craze. And more than that, that we are here to comment either Karizma is better or Pulsar 200cc or Pulsar 220cc. Its up to the owner what they want to write! Is that really OK with u! For me Karizma is far better bike than Pulsar 220cc or Pulsar 200cc because KARIZMA best in handling, KARIZMA best in performance, KARIZMA best in acceleration. And I bet, if one drive pulsar and than he drive karizma, he never able to get the feel of karizma in any other bike….. available in India legally!

Karisma is a gud bike bt after 1yr it makes noise which look like dat some part had been broken on d back side of d bike bt there is no complain in pulsar200cc regarding this.in short u cn say pulsar 200cc is a road burner.

as i am very double minded while choosing pulsar-200cc or karizma…..after taking test drive of both bikes i came to conclude that both bikes are awesome…….but one point in karizma which scores over the pulsar which is wet multi plate clutch shift which makes the gear shifting more smooth more comfortable……but then also i want to buy pulsar-200 beacuse of its advanced features and its slogan is “DEFINATELY MALE”…….So if u r male then proove it by buying the pulsar-200 as i do……..

Bikers…..bikers of P200/220 and karizma how wud we be if india manufactures a 1000cc bike? that i dont know too? lol may be my great grant children will ride it. All indian bike manufactures SUCKS. MILEAGE, MILEAGE all d time F@#k yar. i hv been dreaming to ride a dirt bike since 1987 n till now only photocopy & mileage bikes in our country, well the RD 350 brought little waves thats all. make a change INDIA on motorcycle history before i die. well coming to bajaj and HH. i like bajaj cos its n indian company but thier bikes r not s refined as HH. the negative point is they change models very fast wit d same engine n people face spare parts problem n re sale value comes down.the new digital P220,P200,180 & 150 got power but a horrible bike in handling n complain in electrical, starting. Karizma can be called the plastic bike, one drop and side cowl n fairings will be gone, but its d best bike i hv come across. Guys….karizma is still burning d road for the past 4 1/2 years….it’s opposition the P220 is far behind it getting halt up for its noisy engine n starting problem. thats all FOLKS…BA BA EE

Pulsar 220 cc beating is like sound coming out of a box of stones being rattled(really sucks man)…Zma’s beating is like listening to smooth muzic..sooo smooooooth(Vrooooooommmmmmmm),you will become a fan..the comfort it gives is uncomparable to any of the pulsar’s..Heaven when you ride on it.. Most of you have written abt the speeds of these two bikes but what abt acceleration???…you want to beat someone, you need to have that blistering acceleration, rite…well ZMA goes zooooooooooooooooommmm on the road, 0-60 in 3.8(mindblowing)secs and from there to 100-120 in another 5-6 secs..No damned Bajaj 220 or 300(which may come in future) would beat that acceleration… What about safety??…at the speeds of 120-130, ZMA is soooo stillll with zero shake of handle..sound is still smooth at these speeds..and from that speeds(100-110) to 0 in 3 secs aprrox…well, I have avoided major accidents 3-4 times while riding at those speeds..ZMA obeys you and stops when you say “STOP”…safety matters pple…. Engine, as I said is most refined…you can say that from the smoothness itself.. Guys, theres no need for the Hero Honda to make any changes to ZMA, its like a future built..All that Bajaj is trying is to match with the ZMA…

frnds i am using karizma from 1year……super bike i have never cn.I used 2 have pulser 200 and i have changed 2 karizma…wht the diff i saw is in pulser(good bike with more extra features the engine coller really sucks,the tube less tires does nt give good ride on the roads.mainly the chain problem it sounds more)karizma(super super bike i did nt feel any back pain when i went for a long distance of 400km non stop at avg speed of 70 to 90 i got mileage of 45) so go for karizma

guys shut da fuck up man i own a pulsar 200 for more than a year iyr and 3 months and it rocks the bikes whoos da traffic in no time and rips every bike in India perfect has some quality issues because of very bad service nothin else it rocks bike scores ovr karizma in every corner exept refinement and after that its cool da kari can’t rev like it any-day nor it does look that masculine it rors like a beast untammed beast have raced with it for quite sometime and it still punches air like helll my first bike and i am a proud owner

pulsar 200 is far better than karizma , i have defeated karizma many times …. karizma fudu hai…hero honda hi fudu hai ……… if anyone thinks that karizma is better have a race with me..i ll fuck u all asholes… fuck off

hey stood up are u thinking to be compare karizma with 220 then ur in sleep or u do not know about bikes, the all new pulsar 220 is having a higg class performance N a rear disk brake which gives u a stuning performance which ever u couldn’t find on indian roads, so all who want to buy a bike tjen plz go for 220 only and if u want any sugestion i m here online u can mail me at khanlatif89@yahoo.com

As glamorous as it can look, Pulsar (being a bajaj product) has all the same ol’ crappy story going on underneath. Bajaj gear box sucks (Pulsar no exception), and if anybody says it rocks then pal go get your nuts clear before u call yaself a biker! Bajaj bikes has the inherent problem of balance which Pulsar is not an exemption from the example. A heavy bike with balance problem is always “Dangerous”, be it city or highway! Bajaj bikes (once again Pulsar wont be an exception) has an engine that starts making noise once it goes on high speeds…thats something which is not a very cool thing when you make your product to compete with likes of Karizma or Yamahas or Hondas. That only shows the vulnerability of the engine in long run….All pulsar has is a flashy look, but when it comes to performance its like Windows to a Mac!

Hi.. guys karizma is very good bike only for sudden pick up….but pulsar 200 has luxury feeeling while driving…dont listen to anyone go and drive both bikes and see whether i m coreect???i know what i said

,,/,, the people who like to feel the ride, power will go for Pulsar 200, rest commuters will go for karizma. And many people comments that karizma is an safe bike but it depends upon d riding capabilities of the rider that hw he controls his bike prior to reach that accidental situation.

ahem..ahem..ahem… Listen guyz, you don’t compare two bikes…. first you compare your countries…. we all know that we are indian… both bajaj and hero are indian companies.. bajaj waz working with kawasaki but not now. its totally independent and it is really making very cool bikes with cool graphics and styles and it is a very great achievement for india and we indians should be proud of that. but hero honda is not independent yet. it is still working with honda company which is the best company of japan. guyz, think for a moment, if we seperate the hero company from honda then wat will happen? i think now hero company can produce only heropuch and hero cycles.. you still prefer the non-indian bikes that is shameful thing for us. we are indian and we should prefer indian things. So, decision is yours. you are the true indian or not.

of course karizma is good looking and faster, but not as good as pulsar200.. pulsar 220 is not good looking.. pulsar 200 is best stylish,sportiest and faster bike.. i always prefer pulsar200 for all our sportiest,stylish and the hero who want to perform stunt in his bike… i too have pulsar 200 and i m making my fun and stunts in my lovable bike… i love pulsar 200 ….

karizama is gud lokng but zmr is come with execsive fibre .if it breaks causes between 15000-20000 if pulsar breaks it causes around 5000-6000.in both condition aclamation of insurance takes a time period of around 1-2 month .but in service centre they makebill in free service ‘bill above 1000. so,my…dearfriends if u purchase any bike it benifits to dealer to company but not u.therefore my advice to u why buy towheeler.buy a car–girls also like cars not a fukin bike.

hii all the biker guy krzma is bakwas bike,,, krzma looks like cartoon,,but pulsar 200 is most sexy among all the bikes,, pulsar200 is sper fast,, i have pulsar200 and i m doing stunts frm one month but my bike is ok,,my bike goes up to 137km/hr,

Drive both and you will note the difference very well….n i must say that what a love of zma you ppl have ….try p 200 and ur love becomes hate …..in jst 75000 you get monstar and in 89000 you are getting luna…the choice is yours ……its dec 2010 n pulsar 200 still ruling ……although stopped manf still it has its unique status…….whenever i drive my bike ppl see my 200 and its feel good …..and yes i have YAMAHA R600 2009

HAI GUYES IAM A PULSER USER SINCE ONE YEAR IAM USING PULSER 180 BUT THE ONLY PROBLEM IS ITS ENGINE IS CHAIN AND CLUTCH DISK TWO TIMES I CHANGED THESE BUT AGAIN CLUTCH HAV SOME PROBLEM 1 AND ITS DONT HAVE A RESALE VALUE.. 2 WHILE GOING 70 0R 80 ENGINE SOUND IS MORE.. 3 MAINTENANCE IS MORE .

amongnst all models from bajaj,pulsar 200 is an awesome bike it has got v stylish n sporty look which cant be compared with any other bikes it has its own class when it moves on the road its not u but its the 200 who oagles the publicity, to b frank ‘b4 launch of 200 i was a big fan of karizma but after owing a pulsar200 i dnt give a look back at karizma, “pulsar” its definately male !

NO, ONE CAN BEAT PULSAR 220 IT’S FASTEST INDIAN IF U RIDE SMOOTH DEFINATE IT ILL GIVE MILAGE IT LOOKS TOO SEXY…. FOR STUDENT HOW MUCH DAYS WILL USE 3 TO 4 YEARS SO Y TO THINK…. BETTER TAKE 220 PULSAR AND ENJOY RIDEING… I AM TAKING…. ITS JUST UNBELIEVEABLE BIKE I LOVE PULSAR 220

karizma R..(Rocket) is awesome bike…… Pulsar 200 or 220 sucks…. Bhangaar engine…need mentanance in pulsar or Can say all bajaj bikes…. No challenge to karizma… No challenge about pick up , about new look…,good milege about 45kmpl ,low mentanance.,greater stability…. Karizma R……rocks…
